Ohio State Representative Beth Lear

Had a great visit with a Delaware County homeschool group today and they got to watch nonvoting session. Good questions and an educational tour!

Yesterday’s State of the County was a great snapshot of everything moving Delaware County forward—from continued growth to the strong sense of community that really sets this place apart.

One of the most special moments was the well-deserved sendoff for Commissioner Barb Lewis as she heads into retirement. Her leadership, dedication, and heart for public service have made a real difference in this county, and it showed in the way everyone came together to recognize her.

Thank you, Commissioner Lewis, for everything you’ve poured into Delaware County. You’ve left a lasting mark 💙

Grateful to be part of a community that shows up for each other like this.

Our 3 Guardsmen from the 121st ARW returned home to Ohio on Sunday, March 29, 2026. If you would like to help support their loved ones, Rickenbacker Military Families, a charity comprised of retired members, is collecting donations. The link is in the story below. May God give their souls rest and comfort those these heroes left behind ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Columbus military charity rallies to support families of 3 service members killed in Operation Epic Fury Rickenbacker Military Families, a charity founded in 2009 to support active service members and their families, has mobilized on behalf of the three Ohio airmen.

What a GREAT way to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday! I’m looking forward to spending time with my colleagues and students from around the state reading the Declaration of Independence and hoping to ignite the fire of patriotism in their hearts! 🇺🇸

From serving veterans in Sunbury this morning, to introducing a new bill for fair taxation, to sponsor testimony in Energy Committee for permitting reform (HCR 35), it's been a busy day in Columbus!

Love my fellow lady legislators!

Thank you to the incredible women of the Ohio House Majority Caucus who are paving the way for future female leaders!

March is National Agriculture Month, and here in Ohio, that means celebrating the farmers, producers, and families who keep our communities fed and our economy strong. 🌾🚜

From family farms to cutting-edge ag innovation, agriculture isn’t just part of our history — it’s our future. Thank you to everyone who works sunup to sundown to put food on our tables and fuel one of the largest industries in our state.

Very informative visit with my Delaware Cty and Knox Cty Farm Bureau members today. CAUV, land use, farmland preservation - we have work to do!

8 years ago today - please join me in remembering two of Westerville’s finest, Eric Joering and Tony Morelli, who gave their lives in service to their community. And say an extra prayer for first responders and their families across the nation.🇺🇸🙏🏼

Delaware has our own VA clinic! So excited for the veterans in our area. Great to see so many turn out for this and to run into my friend Andrea who will be working there helping area veterans ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

One of the duties I love best is being able to swear in good people to office: in this case Big Walnut School Board member Angie Graziosi for her second term. The district is blessed to retain her after all the good work she and the previous board did.
❤️💛🦅
