Representative Jena Powell (R-Arcanum) is a freshman legislator from Ohio’s 80th District with the tenacity of a rookie and the strategic thinking of a veteran. During a Friday afternoon phone call with The Ohio Star, Powell said “everyone can speak on things, but it takes a plan to get there. I am not the kind of person that says ‘open Ohio’ and doesn’t have a plan – you have to have a plan to get to the endpoint.”
Powell laid out a plan she believes will get Ohioans to the endpoint they want – an open Ohio.
Her plan is comprised of seven legislative priorities – initiatives crafted after talks with District 80 business owners, non-profit directors, church leaders and families. “These changes will be good for our district and they also make sense for all of Ohio,” she said...........“Whether you agree with Governor DeWine or not, the governor has taken his hand at legislating and the legislators need to be involved – to get bills into committees and onto the floor to debate and then get them passed on behalf of our constituents,” she said............ “I can’t get 99 people to change their minds, but I believe a frank discussion needs to happen in the House on these points.” The freshman representative has encouraged Ohio Speaker of the House Bob Cupp (R- Lima) to call representatives back before their scheduled September date. Once back, Powell believes the following legislative priorities best address the most pressing needs facing Ohioans.
Remove mask mandate...........Remove stifling COVID-19 regulations on small businesses..........
Take pandemic powers out of the hands of bureaucrats.......
COVID-19 litigation reform for private businesses and schools.............
Override veto of Senate Bill 55...........
Fully and safely re-open schools this fall.........
Protect in-person voting in November election......... To Read More....
