Rep. Newman Supports 90 Day Gas Tax Holiday for Ohioans
Savings you can see
 I voted in support of a legislative effort that will temporarily suspend Ohio’s State Gas Tax for 90 days, providing real relief to Ohioans as fuel costs continue to rise.
Sub. House Bill 519 will take effect in early October, providing Ohioans with $725 million in relief leading into the holiday season. Importantly, these savings will be achieved while providing uninterrupted access to funds for state and local road maintenance and construction.
This initiative is part of the Ohio House Republicans’ broader efforts to lower the cost of everyday life for Ohioans. House Republicans have championed several pieces of legislation aimed at providing savings you can see since the beginning of the General Assembly, including cutting state income taxes with a new flat rate, passing a slate of bills to provide more than $4 billion in property tax relief over the next three years, expanding access to publicly funded child care and preschool, and renewing the expanded summer sales tax holiday.
Governor DeWine signed Sub House Bill 519 on Thursday, taking effect October 4th.
It's National Manufacturing Week!
This week is National Manufacturing Week. I strongly support the thousands of manufacturing companies in Ohio, big and small, that employ thousands of Ohioans, boost our economy, and make the things Ohioans and the world need to live and thrive every day. From the food you eat to the cars you drive and the trucks that deliver things, that's all made right here in Ohio!
House Bill 1013 - Enact the Family Sovereignty Act
I am pleased to share that I recently introduced the Family Sovereignty Act - legislation that prohibits awarding custody of a child to a non-parent when the child's parents are married to each other and maintaining a family unit, and limits who may file a complaint alleging abuse, neglect, or dependency.

Representing You
 I am so incredibly proud to represent the people of District 80. I greatly value our conversations, and I have been having many with all of you at your homes about the issues that are top of mind: data centers, Grid Growth Powerline Project, property taxes, and more. I will continue to work hard on legislation that positively impacts the hard-working families of our community.
