Proud of Jack for making it official today and signing to continue his academic and lacrosse career at @MuskingumUniv!
A lot of hard work, long nights, tough practices, injuries, and dedication went into this moment. Nobody handed him anything and he earned every bit of it.
HB 741, the “Ohio Holly Act,” puts public safety first by tightening bail rules for violent offenders and helping keep dangerous criminals off our streets while awaiting trial.
Ohioans deserve safe communities and a justice system that protects victims, not a revolving door.
Too many violent crimes in Ohio go unsolved. Only about one-third statewide. That’s unacceptable.
I introduced House Bill 830 to give law enforcement the tools and resources they need to solve more cases, bring justice to victims, and deter future crime.
The state has given more than $87 million to law enforcement agencies since 2021 as part of the Violent Crime Reduction grant program. Now, lawmakers want to codify that program into state law. https://t.co/3Z3nNaj4vP
🚨 As a sponsor of the Holly Act (w/ Rep. @DJSwearingenOH), I'm proud to see this gaining attention.
Our bill requires risk assessments for violent crimes and ramps up penalties for failures to appear.
Thanks @JasonMattera & @NEWSMAX for highlighting why Ohio needs this reform.
PROPOSED BAIL REFORM: A viral brawl in Cincinnati has sparked the push for Ohio’s proposed “Holly Act,” a bill aimed at tightening bail rules for violent offenders. NEWSMAX Crime Correspondent @JasonMattera has the details on “Wake Up America.”
Americans deserve safe communities and neighborhoods for their families to live in. No one should have to look over their shoulder walking down the street or riding the subway. Those who threaten that safety should face real consequences.
We will continue working toward that end in Ohio.
@realJeffLaRe and I have introduced the Holly Act, and we look forward to working on this bill in committee.
Yesterday @DJSwearingenOH and I introduced the Holly Act.
This bill increases accountability in our bail system and strengthens consequences for repeat failures to appear in court.
Holly was there with us. Her courage is helping drive real reform.

A Cincinnati woman named Holly was beaten nearly to death by a repeat offender who never should have been on the streets.
The crowd filmed it. No first responders came. The justice system failed her. Her city abandoned her.
This single mom got herself home in an Uber.
@berniemoreno made Holly a promise. @DJSwearingenOH and @realJeffLaRe are keeping it.
Today the Holly Act was just introduced.
Filed my petitions for re-election today to continue serving Ohio’s 73rd District in Fairfield County.
Honored to serve. Ready to keep working.
Let’s keep moving our community forward. #OH73
Hard work. Dedication. Community. 💪
Jack and I had a great day at the Fairfield County Fair Junior Livestock Auction, supporting some incredible young people and their projects. Always proud to be part of a community that invests in its future. 🐷🐄🐑
📸 “FREEDOM” was in action at the Fairfield County Fair tonight! Didn’t take the win, but definitely stole the show 🇺🇸💥 Some nights it’s not about the trophy—it’s about the noise, the dust, and the cheers.
#FairfieldCountyFair#CombineDerby
Privileged to pass legislation in the Ohio House honoring Master Sergeant Norman Michael Kilbarger for his distinguished service to the United States. His dedication and sacrifice embody the best of our nation’s values. 🇺🇸
Our federal law enforcement officers bravely continue to protect the homeland and our borders—while having to figure out how to put food on their tables due to #SchumerShutdown—Chuck keeps cashing his fat taxpayer-funded paycheck. Time to prioritize our heroes!
