Shannon Jones recommended for state Senate seat
State Rep. Shannon Jones, R-Springboro, is in line to fill a vacancy in the state Senate.
A Republican screening committee on Monday, Aug. 10, recommended Jones, 39, for the vacancy in the 7th District caused by the death of Sen. Robert Schuler, R-Sycamore Twp. She is in her second term in the House.
The full Republican caucus, currently 20 members, is to vote on the recommendation on Wednesday, Aug. 11.
“When it comes to public policy, Shannon Jones has a reputation for being a heavy lifter. She has a passion for public service and a strong sense of responsibility to do what is best for the people she represents,” Senate President Bill Harris, R-Ashland said in a press release.
“Her brand of leadership is just what we need in the Senate during extremely challenging times.”
Other candidates, all Republicans, were: former state Rep. Tom Brinkman of Cincinnati; former state Rep. Michelle Schneider of Madeira and Patrick McQuiddy of Lebanon, a pilot.
The district includes Warren County and the eastern portion of Hamilton County.
