Happy Primary Election Day, Family!

Primary elections are important because they determine which candidates advance to the general election in November. They also help shape party platforms and the issues prioritized, meaning your vote directly influences the direction of your community.

Make your plan to vote, check your polling location, and make your voice heard. Polls are OPEN; don't miss your chance to participate in the primary election. Every vote MATTERS.

Happy May! As the legislative recess wraps up, I wanted to share a quick update on the legislation we’ve introduced and advanced in the General Assembly this year. There’s more on the way, and I’ll be keeping you informed in the weeks ahead as additional legislation is introduced.

I am incredibly grateful to the advocates, community leaders, and legislators who are championing these bills with me-thank you!

If you’d like to stay engaged, you can track bills, follow their progress, and learn how to submit testimony directly through the Ohio House website. Your input plays an important role in the legislative process, and I encourage you to make your voice heard.

So proud to spotlight our Spring interns! This group has brought so much enthusiasm, passion, and a new perspective for learning about public service and the legislative process. Their commitment and effort have not gone unnoticed as they have contributed in meaningful ways. It has been a pleasure to have them on our team, and I look forward to seeing where their career paths take them!
