Senator Timken delivered a heartfelt and touching floor speech recognizing the legacy of late Senator Kirk Schuring who served the Canton area for more than three decades.

"I was sworn in today on Senator Kirk Schuring's Bible," said Senator Timken. "Senator Schuring served Stark County and all of Ohio with honor, integrity, and he was a force of nature, a true public servant, and my plan is to be a good and honorable public servant and work true and hard for my district."
