“It’s an honor to lead Democrats on the Local Government committee. I hope we’ll start addressing the challenges facing our communities, our veterans and their families,” said Senator Maharath. “I’ll be focused on making sure the bills we pass put workers first, that they build opportunity for all Ohioans and improve their lives.”

Senator Maharath will also sit on the following committees:

• Finance subcommittee on Higher Education


• Transportation, Commerce and Workforce

Senator Maharath was also named to the board of the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund, which provides funding to programs fighting child abuse and neglect and educating child service professionals.
