The Lima Republican and outgoing Ohio Senate president still needs to win the official vote for speaker by the full Ohio House in January.
Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman, a Lima Republican, speaks with reporters on the Senate floor on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024.COLUMBUS, Ohio—Outgoing Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman is poised to become the next Ohio House speaker, as his fellow Republicans picked him for the job unopposed during a closed-door vote on Wednesday, according to several lawmakers in attendance.
While Huffman, an attorney from Lima, still needs to win the official vote for speaker by the full Ohio House in January, Wednesday’s vote makes him the presumptive pick to take over one of the most powerful positions in state government. That would open the door for a range of currently stalled bills to pass next year on issues from regulating marijuana to curbing perceived liberal influence on college campuses.
