Fox News
Jason Stephens, the new Ohio House speaker, laid out a conservative list of bills for the new legislative session. He say's the bills are aimed at bolstering the states economy.
Trying to signal unity at a Statehouse news conference by appearing with a large group of fellow Republicans, Stephens said his caucus’ top bills are aimed at bolstering Ohio’s economy, supporting families and improving educational opportunities.
"We have work to do to ensure that we can attract and retain the brightest to come here and to stay here," the southern Ohio Republican said.
Most bills on the list are among those being pushed by a coalition of deep-pocketed conservative leaders, groups and PACs that have backed party censure and campaign-style attacks on the 22 of 67 House Republicans who joined all 32 House Democrats in supporting Stephens for speaker over state Rep. Derek Merrin, of the Toledo area.
