Kasich taps Sen. Buehrer to head Bureau of Workers’ Compensation
Gov.-elect John Kasich on Tuesday named state Sen. Steve Buehrer, R-Delta, as administrator of the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation in the new Kasich administration.
“A recurring theme in my conversations with small and large businesses over the past several years has been, ‘fix Workers Comp’,” Kasich said in a press release.
“Reducing the cost of Workers Comp is critical to reviving Ohio’s economy and creating jobs……I intend to fix it and Steve has the experience and the will to help in that effort.”
Buehrer, 43, said in the release that he has been involved in “nearly all major pieces of legislation impacting the Bureau.” In the Senate, he has served as chairman of the Insurance, Commerce and Labor Committee which oversees the bureau. He also is Majority Whip, the Senate’s number four leadership post.
Before starting his legislative career, Buehrer served as chief of human resources in the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.
“I am ready to lead this challenging agency during this challenging time…,” said Buehrer.
Kasich made the announcement at a press conference in Wauseon in Fulton County, near Buehrer’s hometown.
