To date, the Freedom Foundation has successfully helped 60,000 government employees across America leave their union and stop paying dues. So far, we’ve cost public sector unions more than $50 million per year – but even better, that money now stays in the pockets of the hardworking Americans who earned it.

Public employees in Ohio heard about our success and asked for our help. That’s why we’re excited to announce that the Freedom Foundation is now open for business in Ohio.

Watch Wednesday’s Freedom Foundation’s Columbus, Ohio press conference held on the grounds of the State Capitol here:

Freedom Foundation’s National Director Aaron Withe, Ohio Director Lindsey Queen and Ohio State Senator Kristina Roegner speak to the press regarding the organization’s move into the Buckeye state.

Ashley Varner

Vice President of Communication and Federal Affairs

Ashley Varner brings a variety of public affairs experience and a tough skin to the Freedom Foundation team. Prior to joining the Freedom Foundation, Ashley spent many exciting, turbulent and wonderful years as a media spokesperson and state government liaison at the National Rifle Association. Following her tenure at the NRA, Ashley joined the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), where she worked with state and local lawmakers across the country on a diverse set of policy and communications issues. A grassroots activist from a young age, Ashley joined her first of many political campaigns before graduating high school and organized protests across the street from her own professors at the University of Missouri. When not rabble-rousing against Big Government, Ashley enjoys cooking, mafia movies, and has seen most of the 1970s and 80s classic rock bands still on tour. She loves the Chiefs, hopes someday she can love her Mizzou Tigers again, and she was a Kansas City Royals fan and Patriot Act opponent before either was cool.
