Wilkin remembers the life of Senator Kirk Schuring
State Senator Shane Wilkin (R-Hillsboro) has issued the following statement on the life of Senator Kirk Schuring:
"There are few people who leave a lasting legacy on their home state, but Senator Schuring was one of those incredible people. I first met him when I was a Highland County Commissioner and am truly thankful I got to know him better when I served in the House and here in the Senate.
“His leadership kept Ohio moving forward, his mentorship gave us all a role model, and his friendship was one that will last forever. We were all blessed to know the good senator from Stark County, and we are certainly all better off today because of his excellent service."
