 I am greatly honored to represent Ohio's 80th House District, covering Miami and southern Darke counties. If you are ever in Columbus, please feel free to call and schedule a visit at The People's Office of District 80.
Enact the Right to Race Bill
I voted in support of House Bill 639 – also known as the Right to Race Bill – which works to create a clear legal framework for nuisance claims involving racing facilities and racetracks across the state.
The bill would establish a complete legal defense for racing facilities against certain nuisance claims regarding activities such as noise, traffic, dust, or lighting. This would apply to a property owner who acquired or developed property after the racing facility was constructed.
The legislation is intended to provide certainty and stability for existing racing facilities while preserving compliance with all state and federal environmental, health, and safety laws.
If enacted, the measure would also prohibit counties or townships from adopting regulations that conflict with the provisions of the bill.
House Bill 639 now heads to the Ohio Senate for consideration.
Ohio State Fair
 The Ohio State Fair is July 29 through August 9, 2026. I will be there for the Joint Agriculture Committee on August 5th!
The fair has always been one of the best places to experience Ohio agriculture, great food, entertainment, and family fun. But this year, there's even more to see.
Whether you've attended the fair for years or you're planning your first visit, this is a great year to see what's new and celebrate everything that makes Ohio special.
Plan your visit today!
Lowering Property Taxes for Ohioans
 The Legislature has taken real action to lower your taxes. This is right for Ohio!
Restoring The Arcanum Opera House
 I helped secure $100,000 through Senate Bill 450 - Ohio's Capital Budget - to restore the Arcanum Opera House. Built in 1889, this historic building used to serve as the village and township offices, police & fire departments, in addition to serving as a community gathering space for plays, musicals, and more. I'm eager to see this community cornerstone come back to life!
