COLUMBUS – State Representative Jim Thomas (R-Jackson Twp.) took the oath of office Tuesday for his first term as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. He represents the 49th House District, which encompasses the City of Canton, Jackson Township and parts of Plain Township.

“I am truly honored to be a strong voice for the people of the 49th House District,” said Thomas. “I want to bring meaningful legislation to the Statehouse that will help the people of Stark County and make Ohio an ever better place to live, work and raise a family.”

Thomas started his career as a professional tennis player before turning to government service.  In 2019 he was elected to serve the people of Jackson Township as a township trustee, prior to his election as a state representative. 

Thomas is a graduate of Stanford University and earned his law degree from Case Western Reserve University.
