I am pleased to offer my strong personal endorsement of Dave Swanson as a candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives.

I had the privilege of working alongside Dave during my tenure as President of our local hospital board, where he served on both the general board and the finance committee. In those roles, Dave consistently demonstrated thoughtful leadership, sound judgment, and a deep commitment to the long-term success and sustainability of our organization. He approached complex financial and strategic decisions with clarity, discipline, and a collaborative mindset, qualities critical to public service.

Beyond his contributions to the hospital, Dave’s entrepreneurial success further speaks to his capabilities. As the founder of Daavlin, he built a globally recognized phototherapy business from the ground up and successfully grew it into a respected leader in its field. This achievement reflects not only business acumen but also innovation, perseverance, and the ability to create meaningful impact.

In addition to his success in the medical device industry, Dave also demonstrated his commitment to our local community by launching Zazarac’s Bar & Eatery. This venture not only created jobs but also established a welcoming gathering place that has contributed to the area’s vibrancy. It’s another example of Dave’s willingness to invest in and strengthen the community he calls home.

What sets Dave apart is his integrity and genuine dedication to the community. He listens carefully, values diverse perspectives, and works diligently to find practical solutions. I have no doubt that he will bring the same level of commitment, accountability, and result-oriented thinking to the Ohio House.

Dave Swanson has my full support and highest recommendation. He is exactly the kind of leader we need: experienced, principled, and focused on delivering real results for the people he serves.
