DEB STEELE
Deb Steele grew up in Minnesota and moved to a small town in Central Ohio as a teen. She came to Columbus to live in a thriving Queer community while attending Columbus State Community College and the Ohio State University. In 2003, she earned a BA in Sociology and chose to deepen her roots in Ohio because she enjoys the political influence that the state can have on national politics.

As an Elected Official, Deb is currently a Fiscal Officer for Clinton Township in Franklin County where she hopes to establish Citizen Participatory Budgeting Forums with the constituents she represents.
