Why they are running

I am a proud conservative. I believe in freedom, limited government, low taxes, protecting life, growing our economy and creating jobs and opportunities. I have a deep appreciation for the genius of our Founding Fathers -- who gave us the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights -- especially the 2nd Amendment that guarantees all the other rights written into the fabric of our national identity.

Recorded votes

Heidi Workman cast 306 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 1 term from 2025 to 2026, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Heidi Workman voted and how the majority of their party voted.

TermChamberYeaNayDid not voteWith party
136th General Assembly, 2025–2026Ohio House, district 723042not recorded100% of 50

"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed.
