Ohio House has a new leader and he needs no introduction
Description
Majority Republicans in their caucus have chosen a new leader but Matt Huffman needs no introduction. He's currently serving as the president of the Ohio Senate. When he comes over to the Ohio House in January, he will likely lead that chamber as the speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives. Ohio Statehouse Scoop Host Jo Ingles explains Huffman will take over the position now held by Speaker Jason Stephens. He dropped out for consideration for re-election last week, paving the way for Huffman. So what does this all mean? To help answer that question, Ohio Statehouse Media Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson joined Jo to talk about that. Plus Jo reports there are questions about where the Republican who ran for a state senate seat recently got his money for his failed campaign. There is bipartisan legislation to raise awareness for perinatal mental health issues. And we prepare to say goodbye to longtime Ohio lawmaker, Kirk Schuring who died last week.
