Of the 99 state legislative chambers in the U.S., 69 are run by Republicans. That’s according to GOPAC, a national conservative Political Action Committee geared towards getting Republicans elected to state offices.
The group’s educational arm held its State Legislative Leaders Summit in Columbus, where a collection of House speakers and Senate presidents — among others — could share ideas.
Ohio’s Republican Senate President Keith Faber of Celina said this summit keeps him up to date with how other Republican state leaders tackle issues.
“You can get to more substantive things," says Faber, "and find out what Texas is doing with criminal justice or talk about what Wisconsin is doing with job creation.”
Other topics scheduled for the summit include telecommunications, energy and health care. |
