Representative Tavia Galonski - District 35

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Tavia Galonski (D-Akron) issued a statement today after the Ohio Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, struck down the Congressional maps passed by Republicans in November.

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Tavia Galonski (D-Akron) announced that the state Controlling Board approved several major items this week, including $42 million in American Rescue Plan funds to aid with vaccine distribution efforts, vaccine education, mobile vaccination units and data management. Ohio has faced a surge in demand for COVID-19 vaccines since the onset of the omicron variant. 

COLUMBUS—Today, Rep. Tavia Galonski (D-Akron) sent a letter to Gov. Mike DeWine urging him to veto Senate Bill (SB) 157, the latest Republican anti-abortion bill. Opponents say SB 157 would put patients in danger by interfering with the ability for doctors and patients to make appropriate and life-saving medical decisions if faced with a medical crisis during pregnancy.

Today, Rep. Tavia Galonski (D-Akron) voted in favor of Substitute House Bill (HB) 169 to appropriate $4.18 billion to support education, expand access to childcare and improve public health, among other investments in Ohio’s working people, families and communities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill is funded through several federal COVID-19 relief packages, the majority of which comes from the American Rescue Plan Act backed by Democrats and signed into law by President Biden earlier this year.
