As Speaker,

 I welcome you to the web site for the Ohio House of Representatives and the 127^th General Assembly. Nowhere is the democratic ideal more evident than in the House of Representatives - the body of state government closest to the individual. As you spend time visiting our web site and browsing its many resources, may you catch a glimpse of the work that is conducted on your behalf.

The future of our state is dependent on the actions we take in state government and it is with great privilege that we lead Ohio toward a better tomorrow.

Sincerely,
