Huffman Calls for the Ohio House Speaker to Resign

COLUMBUS—State Senator Matt Huffman (R-Lima) today issued the following statement calling for Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder to resign: "The federal corruption case Larry Householder faces is shocking and deeply troubling. Conspiracy and racketeering represent an egregious affront to the rule of law, to the legislative process and to the people of Ohio. Based on the sheer gravity and scope of the charges, I believe he should resign as Speaker of the Ohio House. If he fails to resign, I urge my colleagues in the House to immediately remove him as Speaker and expel him from the legislature."
