CLARKSVILLE— State Representative Cliff Rosenberger (R-Clarksville) has officially announced his candidacy for representative of the 91st Ohio House District, which will include all of Clinton, Highland and Pike counties as well as portions of Ross County, during the 130th General Assembly. Rep. Rosenberger filed his petitions Monday with the Highland County Board of Elections.
The deadline to file petitions in the race is Dec. 7.
According to Rosenberger's office, "During his first term Rosenberger has helped to kill Ohio’s death tax on Ohioans and fill an $8 billion budget deficit without raising taxes, in addition to supporting the creation of a lean, responsive economic development entity designed to aggressively seek out and retain jobs. Recognizing that businesses were also hindered by overregulation and red tape, he supported the creation of the Common Sense Initiative that will cut through the bureaucracy that obstructs job creation."
Rosenberger said he has made job creation a priority. Recently he has worked to facilitate economic opportunities at the Wilmington Airpark, which was devastated by the loss of thousands of jobs in 2008.
“This fall, we were able to announce the addition of 260 future jobs to the airpark through the construction of a JUMP hangar, which will be leased to Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services,” Rosenberger said. “This is a great step in turning the wheels of commerce for our area, and I hope to have the ability to continue fighting to bring jobs back to this hard-hit region of our district.
Rosenberger has been able to focus on moving at the speed of business for area jobs as well. Recently he assisted in directing the right assets needed to help close a deal with Highland County commissioners on the expansion of PAS Industries in Hillsboro. He also has brought attention to the Greenfield railroad project.
“Our infrastructure is a crucial and vital to the environment of job creation and retention for our region, tools we have to maintain,” Rosenberger said. “The Greenfield railroad repairs and the Hobart drive expansions are critical projects that will help grow and sustain jobs.”
Additionally, Rosenberger sponsored House Bill 81 to require performance budgeting by state agencies to help increase government efficiency. He also sponsored House Bill 121 to prohibit child custody orders from being altered simply because of a service member’s active duty or deployment.
“Cliff isn’t afraid to make hard decisions and stand on principle,” said Highland County Commissioner Jeremy Shaffer. “He understands the importance of revitalizing our local economy, and I believe under his leadership, we will continue to accomplish this.”
“There cannot be a busier or more energetic person in the entire state of Ohio, and I am extremely honored to work with Cliff. We need him in Columbus,” said Clinton County Commissioner Randy Riley.
Rosenberger is a U.S. Air Force veteran with 12 years of service. He obtained a position with the White House in February 2007 and later served as Special assistant to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. He helped to establish a village planning commission for Clarksville and also led a movement to establish a Clinton County Veterans’ Memorial in Wilmington. He values giving back to his local community, state, and country.
Currently in the House, he serves as vice chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee and also as a member of the Economic and Small Business Development, Public Utilities, and Transportation, Public Safety and Homeland Security committees.
Representative Rosenberger will hold a campaign kick-off event on Thursday, Dec. 8 at Generations Pizza in Wilmington.[[In-content Ad]]
