6.14 Legislative Staff

Legislators in Ohio are supported by a staff that helps with research and constituent services. Senators have one legislative aide and one secretary, while House members have one legislative aide. These staff members are based in Columbus and are not used for campaign activities. Committees also have assigned staff to assist with committee-specific business. Understanding this structure helps illustrate how the Ohio General Assembly functions and the roles that various leaders and committees play in shaping state laws and policies.
