Where they stand
Data centers
State Representatives Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester) and Michelle Teska (R-Clearcreek Township) today introduced House Bill 983, the Data Center Accountability and Citizen Protection Act, legislation that gives Ohio citizens the final say before massive data center projects are built in their communities while protecting taxpayers, ratepayers, private property owners, and Ohio's natural resources.
Elections and voting
State Representative Michelle Teska (R-Clearcreek Township) today highlights her support of two pieces of legislation, Senate Bill 293 – legislation that would require all mailed absentee ballots to be delivered to the board of elections by poll closing on Election Day, and House Bill 88 – legislation to directly combat drug trafficking in Ohio.
Public safety
State Representative Michelle Teska (R-Clearcreek Twp.) yesterday voted in support of House Bill 249, also known as the Indecent Exposure Modernization Act. The bill aims to protect Ohio’s children, preserve family values, and update Ohio’s outdated obscenity laws.
Why they are running
As a strong conservative, I work to reduce the size of government, protect taxpayers, and defend the freedoms and values that matter to 55th District families.
