Cross appointed Chair of House Finance Subcommittee on Higher Education

Ohio House Speaker Bob Cupp (R-Lima) recently appointed State Representative Jon Cross (R-Kenton) as Chair of the Finance Subcommittee on Higher Education for the 134th General Assembly.

Cross will also be re-appointed to the Finance Committee during the timely budget year. Additionally, with his background and experience, Cross has been assigned to serve on the Economic and Workforce Development, Higher Education and Career Readiness, and Insurance Committees.

“I’d like to thank Speaker Cupp for his confidence in me to represent the people of Ohio on these important committees, even serving as chairman on one of them,” said Cross. “I’m looking forward to working with my colleagues on addressing the financial concerns that face higher education institutions across our great state."

“I truly believe that with it being a budget year and the continuous fight against this pandemic, these particular committees will play a pivotal role in our state’s economic recovery. It’s very important that we get Ohioans back to work, open up job opportunities, and advance career pathways by collaborating with our higher education institutions.”
