Cross forms committee to explore run for Ohio house seat
Today, Hardin County native, Jon Cross, who currently serves as President & CEO of the Hardin County Chamber & Business Alliance, has filed paperwork with the Hardin County Board of Elections to form a campaign committee to explore a run in 2018 for State Representative of the 83rd Ohio House District, which includes Hancock, Hardin and part of Logan Counties
Nathan Brooks has been designated treasurer of the Friends of Jon Cross Committee.
As recently reported by the Kenton Times, current State Representative Robert Sprague is exploring a potential run for a statewide office in 2018, therefore providing a potential open seat during the next election cycle.
Cross provided the following statement upon forming the exploratory committee:
“I am proud to champion economic develop efforts for Hardin County, providing a positive voice for growth and advancement, and with this unique opportunity to expand my civic duty, I feel we have a greater opportunity to further advance our local and regional education, business and community development efforts at the State House in Columbus.
“State Representative Robert Sprague continues to serve our district very well and I appreciate his leadership in helping us advance our strategic business development efforts with our work at the Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance.”
Over the next several months, Cross said that he will be meeting with business, community and political leaders throughout the district to build support for a potential run, while also helping Republicans win and retain seats at the local, state and federal levels during the upcoming election in November.
