Where they stand
College athletics
I’m proud to have worked on House Bill 184 from day one—this law protects Ohio’s student-athletes by making sure their NIL deals are tied to their eligibility, so they can focus on their futures without unnecessary distractions. It’s a win for fairness and opportunity in college sports,” said Mathews.

Jobs and the economy
House Bill 292 is about positioning Ohio, and America, for the next generation of global competition. Ohio can help lead a new era of American reindustrialization by building the defense and aerospace industries that our nation will depend on. By strengthening these industries, we can help ensure not only the United States, but also Ohio, remains the world’s preeminent economic and military power. Ohio helped build the Arsenal of Democracy; now we have the opportunity to build the arsenal of the future,” said Mathews.

Public safety
I’m honored to have helped lead the effort behind Ohio’s historic PTSI law,” said Mathews. “Thanks to our work, tens of millions of dollars are now dedicated to mental health treatment for our firefighters, police, and EMS. This means real wages, real care, and real long-term support for those who put their lives on the line every day. It’s a victory for our first responders and their families.”

Recorded votes
Ty D. Mathews cast 309 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 Ty D. Mathews 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 83 | 308 | 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.
