Nancy Garland is standing for reelection to her seat as the 20th District's Representative. She's in her first term after being elected in 2008.
Some key votes over the past couple years can be found here, courtesy of Project Vote Smart. I find it interesting the only "Nay" vote they list is against the transition fund amendments the senate tried to tack on to a campaign finance bill.
Garland lives in New Albany, and has a son at Ohio State studying political science while participating in Air Force ROTC and a daughter who is a practicing attorney after graduating from Miami University over in Oxford. Before serving in the House of Representatives, Garland spent 7 years as the CEO of the Ohio Physical Therapy Association. She also spent several years in Washington, DC in several positions, from legislative assistant to Director of Government Affairs for the American Physical Therapy Association. Garland is also a clinical assistant professor at Ohio State.
Garland has three main issues listed on her website: Job Growth, Economic Development, and Health Care. She emphasizes partnering with businesses small and large as well as the unemployed workforce to build new jobs, attract new industry, and help keep current organizations healthy and growing. As for healthcare, it's the common line regarding the unacceptable numbers of unemployed Ohioans, and how we need to solve the problem in order to keep the state competitive nation wide.
Many groups have endorsed Garland, including the AFL-CIO, Ohio Association of Public School Employees and the Ohio Education Association, and more.
