Wilkin earns CPAC Conservative Achievement Award

State Senator Shane Wilkin (R-Hillsboro) has earned the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Award for Conservative Achievement. 

This accolade is based off Senator Wilkin's strong conservative voting record this legislative session.

“Throughout my time in Columbus, I have been a proven fighter for our southern Ohio communities,” Wilkin said. "Every vote I take is to uphold our conservative values, and this award is a testament to that work. Together we are protecting Ohio from the woke liberal agenda by ensuring that our right to bear arms, our elections and our children are protected.”

CPAC's Center for Legislative Accountability produced the rankings of Ohio's state legislators. This year's edition considered eight bills that cover issues including preserving our Second Amendment rights, preventing election fraud, and protecting women's sports and children from radical gender reassignment procedures.
