Robb Blasdel files for reelection bid in 79th House District

State Rep. Monica Robb Blasdel, R-New Waterford, has filed petitions to seek reelection to the Ohio House, representing the 79th District.

Now in her second term, Robb Blasdel said she will continue to focus on economic growth, fiscal responsibility and local empowerment for residents of Columbiana and Carroll counties.

Robb Blasdel chairs the House Natural Resources Committee and serves on the Energy, Transportation, Arts, Athletics and Tourism, and Redistricting committees. She also serves on the board of the OneOhio Recovery Foundation, is co-chair of the Ohio Legislative Behavioral Health Caucus, and is a member of the Rural Hospital Caucus, the Appalachian Caucus, the MAHA Caucus, and the Lake to River Caucus.

As Natural Resources Committee chair, Robb Blasdel has worked on regulating emerging technologies, including carbon capture, while supporting Ohio’s traditional energy industries. She also has supported legislation aimed at water-quality initiatives and backed the formation of the Ohio River Commission to promote economic development, marine cargo terminal operations, and travel and tourism on the Ohio River and its tributaries.

“It has been the honor of my life to serve the people of the 79th District,” Robb Blasdel said. “I am running for reelection to ensure that our corner of Ohio continues to have a strong, common-sense voice in the Statehouse — one that prioritizes small businesses, supports hard-working families and our schools, and protects our rural way of life. My focus remains exactly where it started: on the hardworking men and women of Columbiana and Carroll counties. I look forward to continuing this journey and earning the support of my neighbors once again.”

Robb Blasdel said she remains committed to being a transparent and accessible voice for constituents and encouraged residents to contact her office with feedback or concerns on state issues.

Ohio’s primary election is May 5.
