Where they stand
Agriculture
While foodborne illness outbreaks understandably create concern, it’s important that consumers have accurate information. At this time, Ohio-grown fruits and vegetables have not been implicated in this outbreak.

Health care
This bill is about protecting the integrity of Medicaid while recognizing the vital role family caregivers play in keeping loved ones safe and healthy at home. By strengthening fraud prevention measures and restoring family caregiving options, we can ensure taxpayer dollars are used appropriately while supporting the families who provide compassionate, cost-effective care every day. Good policy should both safeguard public resources and put patients first

Recorded votes
Kellie Deeter cast 310 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 Kellie Deeter voted and how the majority of their party voted.
| Term | Chamber | Yea | Nay | Did not vote | With party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 136th General Assembly, 2025–2026 | Ohio House, district 54 | 309 | 1 | not recorded | 100% of 51 |
"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.
