The organization’s stated vision is to “protect religious freedom, preserve America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and promote prayer.”
Ohio’s first Legislative Prayer Caucus includes five local Representatives Bill Dean, R-Xenia; Jennifer Gross, R-West Chester Twp.; Phil Plummer, R-Dayton; Jena Powell, R-Arcanum; and Bernie Willis, R-Springfield; along with 16 other state lawmakers.
A news release detailing the Ohio Legislative Prayer Caucus’ launch quoted Gross, who said, “Faith and prayer have been the building blocks of our culture since our nation’s inception … I am pleased to carry on that tradition in Ohio’s 135th General Assembly. It remains a value for my constituents, as well as for me personally.”
The caucus said it will track and champion bills that pertain to religious freedom and membership will remain open to like-minded lawmakers.
