The Ohio Convention of States Leadership Team is very pleased to report that the Convention of States Project’s application for a Convention of States was introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives last week, under the primary bi-partisan sponsorship of Rep. Christina Hagan, R-Stark County and Rep. Bill Patmon, D-Cleveland.
This great news is the result of the tremendous efforts of our Ohio Legislative Liaison, Sue Kahler (KAY-ler) and our very dedicated team of District Captains from every corner of Ohio – without their dedication and perseverance, this would not have happened.
We have over 10,000 supporters in Ohio, over 6,300 of them have signed petitions calling for a Convention of the States that have been sent to their respective representatives.
In 2013, Ohio passed a Balanced Budget Amendment Article V application, which gave the legislature valuable experience with Article V applications.
