Office of State Representative Kellie Deeter

Today, my colleague Rep. McClain and I presented a resolution from the Ohio House to Pioneer Career Technical School on the occasion of the ribbon cutting of their new advanced manufacturing facility. Wonderful addition to educate our upcoming workforce. Congrats! 🎊

Rep. Deeter Applauds Controlling Board Approval of Millions in Rural Healthcare Funding State Representative Kellie Deeter (R-Norwalk) announced that the Ohio Controlling Board yesterday approved over $200 million in federal grant funding through the first year of the Rural Health Transformation Fund.

While on recess, we have the opportunity to connect with constituents and businesses in the district and across Ohio to discuss opportunities and challenges they face. This week, I visited Fresenius Dialysis in Norwalk. They wanted to discuss legislation currently being contemplated in my Insurance Committee and give me a tour of their facility. They are only dialysis service provider in Huron County.

Today, Governor Mike DeWine and I had the opportunity to celebrate all three New London school buildings being named “Governor’s Science of Reading Champions.” They are one of only a few districts in Ohio to achieve this distinction.

We also highlighted the state’s OhioSEE program, which provides vision screenings and glasses for students who need them. When children can see clearly, they have an essential tool for learning to read, and for success in the classroom. 📕 👓

Our deepest appreciation for the Huron County first responders from Willard Fire and Rescue and Huron County Sheriff’s Office for their successful efforts in a water rescue of a mother and son. Thank you all.

This week we welcomed representatives from The Performance Racing Industry, including Bill Bader, owner of Summit Motorsports Park, to the Statehouse to give testimony on HB 639, to protect our long standing race tracks

This week, New London School Superintendent Brad Romano, and Treasurer Jim Hudson visited Columbus to discuss issues. Thank you for coming gentlemen!

Proud to see House Bill 646 pass unanimously out of the Ohio House. As data centers continue to expand across our state, it is critical that we take a thoughtful, proactive approach. This legislation ensures Ohio studies their full impact, on energy, infrastructure, land use, and local communities, so both state and local governments are equipped with best practices to navigate this rapidly evolving digital frontier.

Sending HB 229 to the Governor for signature ! Very proud to have gotten this bill done after 14 months of work on it. 💊

Feel Good Friday! 🎉

Today I had the distinct honor of visiting Norwalk High School to recognize senior Brook Heyman with a commendation from the Ohio House of Representatives. She was joined today by her Teen Leadership Corp.

Brook achieved something extraordinary—she scored a perfect 36 on her ACT during her junior year!

This is an incredible accomplishment and a proud moment for our entire community. I know her family must be bursting with pride.

Congratulations, Brook, and thank you for making Norwalk so proud! 👏
