Lake County’s new state senator
Some Lake County residents may not realize that starting
in January there will be a second state senator representing the county in
Columbus.
State Sen. Nina Turner, D-Cleveland,
represents Ohio’s 25th Senate District that will be comprised of Ohio House
Districts 8, 12 and 60. Her term expires at the end of 2014, so she was not on
the Nov. 6 ballot.
Turner attracted some national attention this past week
with her criticism of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, accusing him of
enacting policies of voter suppression and hinting she might run for the office
in 2014, and with what she views as a war by Republicans on women’s
reproductive rights, specifically citing a state bill that would ban abortions
after doctors can detect a fetal heartbeat.
Prior to reapportionment, all of Lake County was all
within Ohio Senate District 18, which is represented by state Sen. John Eklund,
R-Munson Township, who retained his seat Nov. 6 after defeating Democrat Jim Mueller.
Now the Ohio 18th Senate district will consist of House
Districts 61, 75, 76, which is half of Lake County, two-thirds of Geauga County
and all of Portage County. It no longer includes any of Cuyahoga County.
