State Representative Melanie Miller

Today, I proudly voted in support of Ohio’s Capital Budget, securing more than $3.2 million in investments for projects across Ashland and Medina Counties.

From parks and trails to community facilities, public safety improvements, and historic preservation, these investments will strengthen our communities and improve quality of life for years to come.

Thank you to our local leaders and partners who helped make these projects possible. Together, we are investing in Ohio’s future!

🐝 Good policy often starts with listening to constituents. After hearing concerns from local beekeepers in my district and visiting an apiary firsthand, I introduced House Bill 911 to help protect Ohio’s commercial beekeeping industry, promote compliance with existing law, and support healthy bee colonies.

Ohio’s beekeepers are vital to our agriculture industry, and this legislation helps ensure they can continue to thrive. It’s creating quite a buzz for a good cause! 🍯

It was an honor to provide sponsor testimony in the House Judiciary Committee on Trey’s Law alongside Rep. Roy Klopfenstein. This important legislation (HB 723) strengthens protections for survivors of sexual abuse by ensuring perpetrators can never use nondisclosure agreements to silence victims and shield abuse from accountability. Survivors deserve justice, healing, and the freedom to tell their story.

Every Ohioan deserves to feel safe in their own home. I’m proud to introduce the Ohio Safe Homes Act with Rep. Michele Grim — bipartisan legislation that gives victims of domestic violence and sexual violence a path to leave dangerous living situations without facing financial penalties.

This bill is about protecting survivors, empowering them to seek safety, and ensuring Ohio law stands with victims — not abusers. 💜
