House Bill 472 would not discourage fraud, would not add any real security, and would create an additional and significant burden for Ohioans who vote by mail.

Requiring the photo ID for the mail-in ballot process does not provide election officials with any opportunity to verify if the ID picture matches the face of the voter and thereby serves as no additional verification of the voter’s true…

H.B. 472 does not give voter officials any new tools to fight fraud.

These parks belong to all of us, and they offer every Ohioan a chance to connect with nature, spend meaningful time outdoors, and appreciate the landscapes that make our state special.

Our system is an epic fail.

It's important for a governor to have a good working relationship with the White House.

I questioned the value of the death penalty.

Summer festivals should be safe spaces for families to spend time together without fear of violence.

Fran and I are praying for everyone impacted by the incident at the Old West End Festival.

I am deeply concerned about the situation in Toledo tonight.

This is a program that is very, very cost-effective. It’s a program that makes phenomenal differences in children’s lives.

We believe with this money … OhioSEE is going to enable us to pretty much cover the whole state.

This is something that we are reviewing right now.

One of the reasons Ohio has been so successful in attracting new businesses and creating new jobs is that we have invested in the data infrastructure needed to support complex technological innovation.

Data centers are a critical component to today’s technology-driven economy, which depends on the virtual, large-scale exchange of information.

You keep people in their home where they want to be.

If everyone, for example, in Ohio that is getting this kind of care, home health care, had to be in a nursing home, that would have cost us about $600 million a year.

It’s not going to be good.

To me, the biggest objectives were no taxpayers' dollars used for this, in the sense of nothing coming out of general fund—nothing competing against education, and it couldn't just be about the Browns, it had to be universal.
