Representative Desiree Tims - District 38

COLUMBUS — The House Democratic members on the Joint Committee on Congressional Redistricting today advocated for a hearing on House Bill (HB) 442. Monday’s first public hearing did not include a Republican proposed map. Democrats will continue to hold Republicans accountable for their attempt to tip the scales of democracy with extreme partisan gerrymandering, at the request of President Donald Trump.

COLUMBUS – Ohio House Assistant Minority Whip Desiree Tims (D-Dayton) today released to following statement concerning Governor Mike DeWine’s decision to send 150 National Guard members to support the District of Columbia National Guard:

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Desiree Tims (D-Dayton) today voted “NO” on the vote to override a school district property tax levy restriction provision vetoed in House Bill 96 (the state operating budget). Line-item 66 would eliminate several types of levies, limiting the choices voters have in how to support their schools and local governments, and would not provide real property tax relief to Ohioans. Real property tax relief is one of the most pressing needs for everyday Ohioans. House Democrats are ready and willing to work together to get that done.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Desiree Tims (D-Dayton) today sent a letter to Governor Mike DeWine requesting he consider a line-item veto of a provision in the State Operating Budget (Am. Sub. House Bill 96) that would place harmful restrictions on Dayton Public School’s use of Dayton RTA’s mass transit systems.
