Originally from Youngstown, Bailey Sandin moved to Columbus in 2016 on a mission to create a better Ohio for working families. Sandin attended the University of Akron where she studied Political Science and minored in Arabic. Her passion for labor issues largely comes from her father’s work as a union millwright at General Motors Lordstown. Prior to Policy Matters, Sandin served in the Ohio Legislature as a Legislative Aide and coordinated various workforce development programs in Central Ohio.  Outside of her policy work, Sandin is an avid music lover and staunch supporter of the Northeast and Central Ohio music scenes.  She brings to Policy Matters a strong sense of community building and a focus on making the nuances of labor policy easily digestible for the average Ohioan.
