Gross Issues Statement on Secretary LaRose's Calls for Election Integrity Legislation

COLUMBUS—State Rep. Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester) today made the following statement in response to Secretary of State Frank LaRose calling for legislation to ensure Ohio’s election integrity.

“In order for Ohio to keep its reputation as a leader in election integrity, I strongly support the efforts of Secretary of State Frank LaRose in his ongoing efforts to ensure our elections are secure, accurate, and accessible.  

Recent court rulings and audit findings provide us an opportunity to enact common-sense measures that bolster trust in our election process. From addressing potential loopholes in ballot harvesting to ensuring only citizens can vote in Ohio’s elections, these proposed reforms are vital to maintaining Ohio’s status as a national leader in election integrity.

As legislators, it is our responsibility to ensure that every vote is cast securely and counted accurately. I urge my colleagues to prioritize these reforms and pass them during the upcoming lame duck session. Together, we can continue to uphold the highest standards of election security for the people of Ohio.”
