We’re still celebrating the passage of Ohio’s Capital Budget, which makes strategic investments in communities across the state and helps ensure Ohio continues to thrive for years to come!
We’re welcoming some very special guests to Message from the House in honor of Take Your Child to Work Day!
Tune in to hear why days like this matter and what our visitors think would make the Statehouse even more fun. Here’s a hint: 🍦

Congratulations to Patrick on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout!
There was a wonderful turn out for his Court of Honor and the completion of a Gaga Ball Pit at the North Star Community Park.
Patrict joins an elite group of Scouts, since its inception in 1911, only four percent have earned this rank.
Well done, Patrick, we are all so very proud of accomplishments and commitment to the community.
Ashtabula County is wine country! Congratulations to MCellars and Kosicek Vineyards in the 65th District on their Directors Choice Award presented during Ohio Wine Month in June in the Statehouse!
State Reps. @DavidThomasOH and @RoemerBill attended the 2026 State Tax Policy Seminar in Washington, D.C., and made a stop at the Ohio booth during the Great American State Fair! 🇺🇸
The Ohio Capital Budget includes $750,000 for the Berea Recreation Center Expansion Project, an important investment in health, recreation, and quality of life for the community. #OH17#OhioCapitalBudget#Berea
It's a special privilege to represent the legislative district that includes my hometown of Berea and undergraduate alma mater, @BaldwinWallace. I'm pleased we were able to secure state support in the capital budget to help modernize two essential public-serving facilities on the BW campus, Kleist Center for Performing Arts and the Student Activities Center.
Very much appreciate the Ally of Development Award presented by NAIOP of Ohio recently for our work together to encourage beneficial growth here in Ohio!
It was my pleasure to attend the kick off of the 171st Putnam County Fair and take part in the opening ceremonies. This is a tradition that brings together families, friends, businesses, farmers, and neighbors from across the county.
I secured a $500,000 appropriation for the Pickaway County Fair in this year’s capital budget to implement “Phase 2” of the revitalization plan we started when I was County Commissioner. The Fair runs this week - come out and join us.
Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to dads across Ohio. Today, we recognize the love, sacrifice, and steady leadership fathers provide to their families and communities each day.

“As the family goes, so goes the nation and the whole world.” - St. John Paul II
Being a father has been one of life’s greatest blessings. It’s indescribable to have your newborn child placed in your arms for the first time. Your world is never the same, and that is a good thing. I’m grateful for it each and every day.
I’ve looked up to my own father my whole life as my role model, and I’ll be forever grateful to him and his example to me. What a blessing to have my dad with me through life’s journey.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the men out there doing the best they can and making our country a better place as a result.
Father’s Day is a reminder of how blessed I am to have such an incredible family. Grateful every day to be a husband and father.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.
