Representative Chris Glassburn - District 15

COLUMBUS — The House Democratic members on the Joint Committee on Congressional Redistricting today advocated for a hearing on House Bill (HB) 442. Monday’s first public hearing did not include a Republican proposed map. Democrats will continue to hold Republicans accountable for their attempt to tip the scales of democracy with extreme partisan gerrymandering, at the request of President Donald Trump.

COLUMBUS – A bipartisan group of Ohio House members today is calling on the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to move quickly under the state’s new utility reliability law—working together to hold FirstEnergy accountable for years of chronic outages and to deliver long-overdue improvements using the new enforcement tools in House Bill (HB) 15, which takes effect this week.

The lawmakers sent a letter to PUCO urging immediate use of HB 15’s expanded oversight powers to address chronic service failures across Ohio, with a focus on Western Cuyahoga County communities that have endured repeated outages for years.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Chris Glassburn (D-North Olmsted) today voted “NO” on House Bill (HB) 96, the Republican-crafted state operating budget, citing cruel and chaotic cuts and its abject failure to invest in children, public education, healthcare, and basic services – all while shoveling billions to the wealthy and well-connected. Under this budget, the state’s share of education is cut to 32%, the lowest in the state’s history of the 50/50 partnership. 

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Chris Glassburn (D-North Olmsted) today announced the Ohio Controlling Board awarded $232,367.36 in funding to cover additional renovation costs to the Brook Park Ohio Army National Guard Armory, located in Brook Park, Ohio (Cuyahoga County). The funding will be used to address various damaged and non-working HVAC units and the related installation of new refrigerant piping per updated design.
