Lead Summary
By
Highland County Press-
Longtime Southern State Community College professor Bill Horne announced this week that he is running for Ohio's 86th House District seat.
Horne, a Highland County Democrat, told The Highland County Press, "I really want to see if one person can make a difference in Columbus. I think I can be that person.
"I think our political parties are well-represented, but I don't think every person in our district is represented. I'd like to see if I could make a difference. I have no other agenda."
Horne, an associate professor of economics at SSCC for more than 25 years, is a U.S. Army veteran and also owns and operates a small business in Highland County with his wife, Connie.
"I grew up on a family farm and learned those values at an early age," Horne said. "I am a fiscal conservative with a business management background. Right now, we need jobs in our district. Good jobs. I am pro worker and pro business and want the two to work together."
Horne is making his fifth bid for the House seat. After first running as an independent in 2002, Horne has been the Democratic nominee the past three elections. Each time, incumbent Rep. David Daniels defeated Horne.
This year, Daniels is running for Ohio's 17th Senate District seat.
Horne and Clinton County Republican Cliff Rosenberger have announced their respective campaigns for the 86th District, which includes Highland, Clinton
and Pike counties.
Horne has named Kim Willard as his Clinton County campaign representative and Harry Rider as his Pike County representative. John Tallieu of Highland County serves as his online Web manager.
Bill Horne and his wife, Connie, live in southern Highland County. Together, they have two children, Kathy and Benjamin; and a grandson, Zach.
"I am running for state representative of the 86th District to represent all of the people of Clinton, Highland and Pike counties," Horne said. "I know that the future of the district and all of Ohio depends on creative and courageous approaches to the problems we have. Ohio has been headed in the wrong direction and leaders with vision are needed to change that trend. With your support, I will fight for change and help create a new vision of prosperity for Ohio."[[In-content Ad]]
