“From an economic standpoint, I’ve sponsored major economic and workforce development legislation that continues to stimulate our economy and helped to make Ohio’s talented workforce the best in America. And I’m proud to have championed over $100 million of state funding, returned back home, to support our local schools,
community projects and infrastructure improvements throughout the 83rd district. “And when constituents call, I not only answer the phone, but actively engage, meeting
them in their time of need. From assisting the needs of Indian Lake to advocating the various needs of my constituents, I look forward to continuing to be their voice for our district at the statehouse.”
