Representative Monique Smith - District 16

COLUMBUS— Today, State Reps. Adam Miller (D-Columbus) and Monique Smith (D-Fairview Park) testified before the Ohio House Behavioral Health and Recovery Supports Committee on House Bill (HB) 363, which would expand the powers and duties of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) to include planning, preparing and providing services during pandemics, natural disasters and other major emergencies.

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Monique Smith (D-Fairview Park) voted in opposition Wednesday to House Bill (HB) 175, legislation that would remove protections for ephemeral streams. 

State Rep. Monique Smith (D-Fairview Park)  issued a statement today after the Redistricting Commission failed to meet its constitutional duty to release, hold three hearings on, and adopt a state legislative district map by Sept. 1. Even though other maps have been presented to the Commission, the Commission itself has neither produced nor worked on one, and co-chair Speaker Bob Cupp (R-Lima) has not given a date that the Commission will propose a map for review.  

Rep. Monique Smith (D-Fairview Park) hosted a virtual stop on the Ohio House Democrats’ Ohio Promise: Opportunity Agenda Tour August 19 featuring Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney (D-Cleveland) as a guest. The event was part of a statewide series of town halls where local lawmakers discuss statewide issues like jobs and economic development, education, protecting healthcare access, and the freedom to vote. Smith’s event also gave citizens the opportunity to ask questions and offer input on ways to address the issues facing their communities.
