Ross endorses Beth Lear for Ohio Senate

I am writing to strongly encourage my fellow Coshocton County Republicans to support Beth Lear for Ohio State Senate in District 19.

I have had the opportunity to see Beth Lear’s work up close, and I can attest firsthand to her deep commitment to conservative values. Beth is a no-nonsense fighter who consistently stands up for limited government, strong families, Second Amendment rights, fiscal responsibility, and protecting our communities from radical policies.

She has proven time and again she will never back down when it comes to defending the principles that make Ohio strong. I have seen her stand up to special interests and big government "Republicans" in her time in the statehouse, and I know she would continue to do so in the Ohio Senate.

What stands out most to me is the genuine time and attention Beth has invested in Coshocton County. While many politicians only visit during campaign season, I have personally witnessed Beth spending significant time here, attending local events, listening to residents’ concerns and working to address the real issues facing Coshocton. Her presence and engagement have been consistent and meaningful, not just symbolic.

Beth brings real-world experience as a veteran of the Ohio Air National Guard, a dedicated wife and mother, and a proven legislator who has fought for tax relief, education choice and commonsense policies in the Ohio House. Ohio Senate District 19, covering Coshocton, Delaware, Holmes and Knox counties, needs a strong, principled conservative voice like Beth Lear in Columbus.

I urge my fellow voters in Coshocton County and throughout the district to support Beth Lear in the May 5, 2026 Republican primary. She is the fighter we need to keep Ohio moving in the right direction.
