The State’s failure to fully fund schools shifts the burden to local property owners. HB 884 updates the funding formula so the state pays its fair share, lowering property taxes and protecting every Ohio child's right to a quality education. Learn more:wkyc.com/video/news/educatio…

Ohio should be a destination for top talent. Public servants shouldn’t be punished for bringing their skills to our state. HB 877 eliminates the 5-year limit on purchasing retirement service credits. This is a commonsense pension reform to attract the workforce our state needs.

Strong manufacturing jobs are the backbone of a thriving, resilient community. I'm excited to announce that tk accelis Materials Plus is opening a new facility in Brook Park. This strategic investment will bring 47 new jobs to Northeast Ohio and retain 18 existing positions.

Increasing property taxes shouldn't force Ohioans from the homes they love. HB 882 provides temporary funding for local governments to supplement tax revenue and delay foreclosures. By creating this gap funding, we can support our communities without sacrificing our homeowners.

True property tax relief means transparency, fairness, and putting taxpayers first. HB 608, which I jointly sponsored with Rep. Thomas, addresses key concerns in our tax system. Learn more: daytondailynews.com/local/ne…

As ERs face unprecedented strain, we must take action to reduce overcrowding. HB 883 allows EMS personnel to be reimbursed for treatments provided without transportation, reducing costly, unnecessary ER trips and keeping resources available for those who need them most.

Ohioans deserve to see how campaigns manage donations. I testified before the House General Government Committee on HB 770, which creates a visible, easy way for campaigns to refund contributions for any reason. Let’s keep working for a more open and practical campaign system.

Property tax increases aren’t going away. That is why I introduced HB 881 to establish fixed state credits for both homeowners and renters. This bill is a direct effort to provide meaningful, reliable financial relief to Ohioans impacted by inflated property taxes.

Transparency is essential for good governance. During the data center study committee meetings, I worked to get Ohioans the answers they deserve. I’ll keep demanding accountability at the Statehouse so that communities can make informed decisions that fit their best interests.

Underfunded schools drive up property taxes. HB 884 requires the state to use updated base costs to determine its share of public education costs. This protects school budgets, offers lasting property tax relief to our neighborhoods, and accurately reflects the cost of education.

Property taxes are a major affordability issue in Ohio. Last week I joined my joint sponsor Rep. Thomas to testify on HB 608. This bill brings much-needed transparency and accessibility to the tax system. Making Ohio an affordable place to work and live remains my top priority.

Balcony solar is safe, cheap & perfect for renters. Thank you Rep. Rader for letting me join you in demoing a unit at the statehouse to show why HB 755 is needed to lower energy bills and reduce strain on the grid. Shoutout to @SolarNeighbors for bringing in a unit for us to use.

I’m excited to officially introduce HB 770, which brings transparency and accountability to campaign finance. The bill allows candidates to refund donations or redirect them to charity through a clear, public process so that voters can be informed.

Funding for schools, parks, and mental health facilities should be bipartisan, but an unrelated provision threatening SNAP food assistance benefits will force layoffs, drive up wait times, and harm the very communities these programs are meant to serve.

Capital reappropriation bills typically pass without controversy but an amendment harming SNAP funding poisoned our bipartisan infrastructure bill. I trust the Senate will correct this and ensure all Ohioans, regardless of political games, are treated fairly when they need help.

My new legislation authorizes campaign donation refunds to ensure every Ohioan can easily see how funds are handled. Current restrictions create unnecessary barriers for the public. Full press release linked here: ohiohouse.gov/members/chris-…

The PUCO recently announced new rules that would increase transparency for residents and businesses to allow them to see where there are shortages of available energy before starting new projects.
