The freedoms we enjoy as Americans are only possible because of the countless men and women who have served in uniform throughout our history. Today, and everyday, we honor and thank our nation’s veterans.

Congratulations to our next Senate President, @BillReineke! I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve in his leadership team as President Pro Tempore. Congratulations also to Majority Floor Leader @theresagavarone and Majority Whips @TomPattonOH & @SusanManchester.
The @ohiogop couldn’t have picked a better place to end its statewide bus tour than Lori’s Roadhouse right here in Butler County! Time to bring home a big win for our entire Republican team!
Thanks to everyone who supported @hainesforohio and me at our event in West Chester this week! Great to have Congressman Warren Davidson, Sheriff Jones, and several of my Senate colleagues in attendance.
I’m proud that we’ve made Ohio the #1 state for business, but we’re just getting started. It’s so important that we continue to send pro-business champions like @hainesforohio to the Senate. We’lI work together to deliver for SW OH and take our state’s economy to new heights!
The @ohiogop 2026 bus tour will be making stops all throughout SW Ohio this Saturday! Check out the details and sign up to meet our great slate of candidates who will move Ohio forward.
Excited to welcome Vice President @JDVance back home to Southwest Ohio this week!
I enjoyed the opportunity to tour the Mullins Dairy Farm alongside some great @ButlerTech students!

I will enthusiastically vote YES on Vivek’s plan to give Ohioans relief at the pump. I look forward to joining my colleagues to swiftly get this done!
Gas is over $4.50 in Ohio today, diesel just hit a record $6.76, and if you fill up a 15-gallon tank once a week, you're paying about $300/year in state gas taxes alone. Truckers are paying thousands. Families badly need a real leader who takes action and delivers real relief, not just empty tweets. That’s why I have worked with Ohio lawmakers, including House Speaker Matt Huffman & Senate President Rob McColley, to create an Ohio Gas Tax Relief Plan that we’ll enact into law by no later than next week. Here's how it works (we’ll hold a joint press conference on Wednesday to discuss the details):
1. Suspend the full state tax for 90 days. Ohio's 38.5-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and 47-cent-per-gallon tax on diesel and other fuels.
2. Protect state and local road funding. Lost revenue would be replaced by an upfront appropriation from ODOT's ending cash balance, then the General Revenue Fund, and, if needed, the Rainy Day Fund. Actual payments will follow the complete existing formulas to protect federal matching funds, construction commitments, and winter maintenance.
3. Replenish the Rainy Day Fund with verified Medicaid fraud savings. In May, I laid out a detailed plan to combat Medicaid fraud. New funds from a federal agreement allowing Ohio to retain more of those savings can restore any funding drawn from the Budget Stabilization Fund and ODOT's cash balance. All dollars will be pre-appropriated to ensure no project interruptions.
4. Make the relief visible and accountable. Supplier invoices must show the tax change. The Ohio Department of Taxation may offer credits for previously-taxed station inventory only when entirely passed through to customers, and will publish weekly pump-price comparisons and monthly reports on replacement road funding.
If the legislature doesn’t act this year, I will present a bill during the transition and push for passage when I take office on January 11, 2027. I'm prepared to call a special session if needed.
While Amy Acton continues to issue hollow statements without offering an iota of policy detail (and continues to hide from the debate stage), I’m working with our legislature to take action & provide real affordability relief to Ohioans.
Incredible turnout for tonight’s event in Liberty Township to support our next Governor @VivekGRamaswamy and our next Lt. Governor @Rob_McColley!

25 years has passed since September 11, 2001, but the memory of that day remains as clear as ever. We will never forget the 2,977 innocent people who were killed, or the bravery and heroism of countless others who ran towards danger that day.

Proud to present Senate commendations recognizing the latest graduates of Butler County’s Veterans Treatment Court. Thanks to Judge Michael Oster for his ongoing efforts to give our veterans second chances to turn their lives around.
Had a great time celebrating America250 and supporting my future colleague Zac @hainesforohio at Lebanon’s Independence Day Parade over the weekend!
Forever grateful to live in the greatest country on Earth! Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Independence Day as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday. 🇺🇸
The vast majority of Ohioans support requiring a photo ID to vote — it’s just common sense. I’m disappointed that the Governor chose to veto legislation that would further strengthen the security of Ohio’s elections.
