Lew Modic for Commissioner

23/05/2026

I went to Third Thursday this week and enjoyed the music. It was nice to see the Farmers Market back in the center of town. I bought a dozen brown eggs from Narrow Road Homestead and enjoyed a nice walk to listen to music at BBQ & Fixins on Spring Street. This will be a great way to spend Thursday evening as the weather gets better.

Be honest… before this campaign, did you know what a County Commissioner actually does? 😅

Reliable internet isn’t a luxury anymore...it’s a necessity.

Students, farmers, small businesses, and families all depend on strong internet access. I believe rural Allen County deserves better infrastructure and better opportunities.

This week we had the opportunity to meet with candidate for U.S. Senate Sherrod Brown and spend time discussing issues impacting Ohio communities.

Grateful for the chance to connect and have meaningful conversations about education, jobs, and the future of our region.

Some days I think the hardest battles we fight are the ones nobody can see.

The conversations in our own heads. The overthinking. The replaying situations over and over. The wondering if we’re enough. The carrying things we never say out loud because we don’t want to burden anyone else.

Life can be beautiful and heavy at the same time.

I’ve learned that what we feed our minds matters. If we only feed fear, fear grows. If we only feed doubt, doubt gets louder. But when we feed our minds truth, hope, grace, love - healing slowly starts finding its way in.

Not every day is strong. Not every day is easy. Some days survival looks like showing up exhausted. Smiling when your heart hurts. Fighting thoughts nobody else even knows you’re carrying.

Give yourself permission to rest. To heal. To grow slowly. To ask for help.

And if nobody told you today…

You matter. Your story matters. And this world is better because you’re in it. 💜🩵

I’ve spent years working on workforce development and promoting manufacturing careers here in West Central Ohio.

I believe Allen County grows when we invest in workers, support local businesses, and create jobs that families can actually live on.
