Issue Position: Oil & Gas Industry

Issue Position

I believe that when oil and gas producers come to Ohio, everybody wins. The oil and gas industry has been a major catalyst for Ohio's economy in the last decade, bringing thousands of jobs directly to our state. The industry has also created thousands more indirect jobs throughout Ohio due to the economic trickle-down effect provided by oil and gas production. As a State Legislator I will work to make Ohio an inviting place for oil and gas exploration and production. I believe one way we can encourage the industry's continued growth in Ohio is by keeping the oil and gas severance tax as low as possible, so that companies don't have to pay huge taxes just for taking the product out of the ground.
