Today is my last day as the Representative for #OH15. I want to thank everyone in Ohio’s 15th District for giving me the privilege to serve you for the past decade. Fighting for a stronger and more prosperous Ohio has been an honor. https://t.co/B6yvdXPgZ7

Beginning tomorrow, the Office of the Clerk will assume operations of the Office for the 15th District. If you are facing an issue with a federal agency, call (614) 771-4968 and someone will be available to assist you.

This is a tremendous loss of a husband, a partner, and a father and Karen and I are holding Joyce, Otto III, and Laurel in our prayers.

My heart goes out to my colleague, and more importantly, my dear friend @RepBeatty on the loss of her husband, Otto. Together, he and Joyce have been an unstoppable force for change in Central Ohio for decades.

Today we celebrated a huge step towards allowing veterans access to treatment that working with service dogs can provide. Thanks @SenThomTillis @RepKathleenRice @michaelgwaltz @RepSlotkin @RepSherrill @RepRutherfordFL & everyone for working to get this signed into law. #PassPAWS

Extending a warm welcome to Ohio’s heroes who just returned from an 11-month deployment. We are incredibly grateful for your willingness to fight for our nation and for your safe return home.

As the representative for 43,000 veterans, and as a Major General in the Ohio Army National Guard, I know the struggle of the invisible wounds of war. We have a chance today to help veterans by getting the PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act to @POTUS' desk. #passpaws

The Buckeye Lake Fourth of July annual firework tradition will be back up and running for all to enjoy this year. As vaccination rates go up and life finds a new normal, this is a good opportunity for folks to look forward to. More:

Israel is our greatest ally, and the U.S. must stand firm alongside them and against extremists who have no regard for human life. The attacks over the past few days are just the latest example of senseless violence and complete disregard for the peace.

Congrats to all who recently graduated from @WilmingtonColl and all the great colleges & universities in #OH15. We’re lucky to be home to such bright students. As folks in our communities graduate and move on to the next chapter, I wish you all the best.
