Representative David Thomas - District 65

State Representative David Thomas (R-Jefferson) is pleased to share that the Ohio House of Representatives today passed House Bill 129 and House Bill 309, both of which serve as reasonable, informed responses to the unprecedented surge in residents’ property tax burdens across the state. These bills add to the list of House-championed initiatives aimed at providing property tax relief for Ohioans.

COLUMBUS, OH — State Representatives David Thomas (R-Jefferson) and Roy Klopfenstein (R-Haviland) are leading House Concurrent Resolution 24, legislation urging Congress to address the growing national debt, which has now surpassed $37 trillion — more than 123% of the United States economic output. The resolution highlights that the debt amounts to about $108,000 per Ohio resident, with over $8 trillion held by foreign investors, including more than $800 billion owned by China.

State Representatives David Thomas (R-Jefferson) and Daniel Troy (D-Willowick) introduced House Bill 493 this week, a bill that bans the sale of tax delinquent certificates starting in January 2027. This is a practice that profits off Ohioans who struggle to pay their rising property tax bills.
