I strongly support vote to override the Governor’s veto of HB 68. House Republicans have the necessary votes to override in the House.
We should do it at our first session in January. We must protect minors from permanent, life-altering surgeries & defend women’s sports.

🚨Today, I filed HB 703 to create the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve within the state treasury!
Provides state treasurer authority & flexibility to invest in #Bitcoin
This legislation creates the framework for Ohio’s state government to harness the power of Bitcoin to strengthen our state finances.
As the US dollar undergoes devaluation, #Bitcoin provides a vehicle to supplement our state's portfolio and preserve public funds from losing value.

A sad day in America as Biden/Democrats have weaponized the justice system to persecute a political opponent.
Democrats will stop at nothing to keep President Trump from taking back the White House. The opportunity for a fair trial is one of the hallmarks of our Democracy; however the outcome was predetermined.
I firmly believe the American people will see through this sham trial in November and Justice will ultimately prevail. We The People stand with Donald Trump!

Marcy Kaptur refuses to stand up for Ohio values of hard work and personal responsibility - her voting record on Biden’s student loan bailout is the latest example. Northwest Ohioans that work hard everyday are not responsible for paying off others student loan bills. Period!

We must continue lowering taxes in Ohio. @JonHusted is 100% correct that tax revenue from the marijuana tax should contribute to reducing taxes for working families!
I accept the voters' verdict that recreational marijuana is now legal in Ohio. I understand that, for various reasons, people want legal, regulated methods to buy it. For instance, an assurance that it's not laced with fentanyl or associated with criminal activity.
However, I don’t believe that people want to be overwhelmed by smoke in public places like restaurants or parks. I also don’t believe that they want it sold on every street corner or convenience store or excessive advertising that targets children.
We must also bear in mind that impaired driving jeopardizes all of our safety. Therefore, we have a responsibility to establish some policy guardrails to prevent this new experiment from getting out of hand.
Also, it's essential to recognize that even though recreational marijuana is legal, many jobs will still require workers to pass a drug test.
The smart thing to do with the tax revenue generated by it should contribute to tax relief for working families.
Let's make sure Ohio does this as responsibly as possible.

The idea Ohio should rush to hike the marijuana tax is the wrong approach.
The focus should be on steering the revenue into the GRF & lowering the state income tax with the new revenue.
Attempts to raise the tax and siphon off more capital from the private sector to expand government without lowering other taxes is a non-starter.
