As a Criminal Defense Attorney, Constance works every day to protect the Constitutional Rights of Ohioans, including women, minorities, parents, children, and gun owners. Constance supports abolition of the for-profit prison system in Ohio as well as the decriminalization of drug possession, believing that Ohio should treat drug addiction as a health condition rather than a criminal issue.

As Co-Chair of the Ohio Green Party, Constance has built a party to stand up to the corrupt two-party system. The Green Party does not accept corporate donations. It offers voters a radical choice, and will empower Ohioans atthe grassroots level to engage with the political system.
