Santucci Elected as Majority Whip in the 136th General Assembly

COLUMBUS – State Representative Nick Santucci (R-Niles) took the oath of office Monday for his second term as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, where he will serve on Speaker Matt Huffman’s leadership team as a majority whip. He represents the 64th House District, which includes a portion of Trumbull County.

“It is an honor to be elected by my peers as Majority Whip in the Ohio House,” Santucci said. “I believe this role is vital in uniting our caucus and delivering results for Ohio. From fostering communication to advancing our priorities, I’m ready to serve. I am grateful to my colleagues for their confidence and deeply appreciative of the opportunity to work directly with Speaker Huffman to help move the needle for working families across Ohio.”

Santucci is the first representative elected from Trumbull County to serve as majority whip in 48 years. He successfully worked on major legislation in the previous General Assembly to expand emergency medical services training, enhance Ohio’s blight and brownfield remediation efforts, combat human trafficking, and secure millions of dollars in state funding for Trumbull County.

He was sworn in during Monday’s session, which marked the beginning of the 136th General Assembly.
