COLUMBUS—State Senator Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) today joined the Ohio FFA for their annual Ohio Legislative Leadership Conference at the Ohio Statehouse, where he applauded them for their interest in business and agricultural issues, while highlighting the importance they have for Ohio's economy.
"The FFA is an incredible opportunity for students who are interested in not only agriculture, but many different industries that are important to Ohio," said McColley. "I thank them them for making the trip to Columbus to take part in a program that empowers them to take their seat at the table in our political process."
