State Senator Beth Liston

In Oct 2024 I rec’d a $1000 unsolicited donation from Les Wexner. This past Dec, I donated those funds to a local org meeting the needs of youth impacted by/at risk for human trafficking. Receipts available: https://www.ohiosos.gov/campaign-finance/search/

Although I hadn’t met with Wexner, I wasn’t shocked to get the check. I was running to be his State Senator and represent New Albany. Sometimes when an election outcome is clear, wealthy people in the area send donations.

People give hard earned money to my campaign because they believe that I will use the money to represent their values – to make decisions that can improve their lives and our state. I believe this is a sacred trust and I take it seriously.

Typically, the money I receive is spent on winning my election, sometimes I invest in others who will work for people in Ohio. In this case, I believed the money would best be spent supporting and protecting vulnerable youth.
