Taxpayer dollars should go to the people they’re intended to help, not fraudsters gaming the system. I’m proud to join Vice President JD Vance in his pledge to crack down on fraud, protect taxpayers, and hold those who abuse these programs accountable. It’s common sense. @VP
Sign the pledge below and join us in the War Against Fraud.

Property taxes are pricing too many Ohioans out of homes they already own. We have to change that. This bill is about bringing stability and predictability back to property taxes—and protecting homeowners from being taxed out of their homes.

Heartbreaking. Cameron Lyon was just 23, newly engaged, and beginning his career as a teacher. The man charged in his death was allegedly impaired, unlicensed, and in our country illegally. Cameron’s family deserved better. We must enforce our laws. 10tv.com/article/news/local/…

Your home value went up, but you didn’t sell it. Why should your property taxes skyrocket? @kevinmillerohio and I introduced a constitutional amendment to limit increases in your taxable home value while you own it. It won’t fix everything, but it’s a meaningful step.

So I made a song… 😂 Before Jack heads to Muskingum to play lacrosse, we squeezed in a father/son lobster trip to the Florida Keys. Broken boats, sharks, lobster dives & plenty of chaos. Enough to fill a country song… so I made one. Proud of you, buddy. 🥍

He was released while facing violent felony charges and is now accused of another violent crime. Due process matters. So does public safety. Holly Act will add accountability in bail decisions. Thank you to @NEWSMAX and @JasonMattera for having me on to discuss this issue.

Jack and I got to welcome @Barrett_Jackson to Columbus for their inaugural auction. Huge thanks to Craig Jackson and his team for giving him the behind-the-scenes tour. I told Jack the same thing every dad tells their kid at an auction: keep your hands in your pockets!

HB345 - Is about protecting privacy, protecting children and holding offenders accountable. Happy to see it unanimously pass on the Ohio House floor.

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. nbc4i.co/4t4hawN?utm_medium=…

🚨 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.

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.

Voyeurism is not a victimless crime. H.B. 345 strengthens protections & holds offenders accountable. Thanks to Capt. Shaun Meloy for testifying.

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. fox19.com/2026/03/05/ohio-ba…

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.
