GUEST SPEAKER: Senator Bill Beagle
An Ohio resident for over 40 years, small business owner and father,
Bill Beagle has dedicated himself to public service because he wants to
do his part to help create a better future for our families and our
country.
Bill Beagle was first elected to the Ohio Senate in 2010. At the
time, Ohio was broken - just like Washington is today. Our
economy was in a tailspin, 350,000 private sector jobs were lost, and
Ohio's budget deficit had grown to an historic $8 billion. While
other states were experiencing similar problems during the recession,
Columbus politicians were actually making things worse for our state by
raising taxes on hard-working Ohioans when they could least afford
it. A strong fiscal conservative and someone with a keen
understanding of economic and workforce development issues, Bill Beagle
knew that if Ohio was ever going to successfully emerge from the
recession and grow again these dangerous policies had to be
stopped.
In 2010, Bill Beagle challenged an incumbent Democratic legislator to
represent the citizens of the 5th Ohio Senate District, a seat that had
been held by Democrats for more than 20 years. It was a race that
no one thought he could win. But Bill prevailed, beating the odds
and the naysayers, and he was successfully reelected in 2014 in this
Democratic-leaning district by a significant margin.
Since then, Bill Beagle has played a leading role in Ohio's turnaround
story, especially in the area of workforce development. Bill
helped author numerous common sense policies that have strengthened our
economy, fostered an environment where job-creators can thrive again,
and enabled hard working individuals to support themselves and their
families. Under Senator Beagle's watch, Ohio turned an $8 billion
shortfall into a $2 billion surplus without raising taxes, over 300,000
private sector jobs have been created, the unemployment rate has
reached its lowest level in over a decade, and the state has set
records each year for new business creation as entrepreneurs have
regained their confidence. Bill Beagle also kept his promise to
reduce the tax burden on Ohioans by helping to cut taxes by over $5
billion, eliminate the death tax, cut the state income tax 16 percent,
eliminate the income tax for many small businesses and provide targeted
tax relief to low-and middle-income workers.
Today, Bill Beagle is widely recognized as a problem-solving
conservative Republican leader who has the fortitude to get things done
- and he believes Washington needs that type of leadership now more
than ever. That is why he is running for Congress. Bill is
on a mission and that mission is to make the tough decisions that need
to be made to fix Washington and put America back on the path to
prosperity. No other candidate in the race for the 8th
Congressional District possesses Bill Beagle's depth and breadth of
experience, proven track record, and leadership abilities.
Prior to his service in the Ohio Senate, Bill Beagle worked for over 20
years in the private sector as a senior financial analyst, an
operations manager, and in customer service. An entrepreneur,
Bill started his own real-estate business in 2002 - a business he
continues to successfully grow today - so he is very familiar with the
many current challenges that face small business owners in Ohio.
A resident of Miami County since 1991 and living in Tipp City with his
wife and three children, Bill Beagle has consistently given back to his
community through his public service. He has held numerous
leadership positions in his community, including Tipp City Council
President, and serving on the Tipp City Library Board, Tipp-Monroe
Community Services Board, and Tipp City Power Plant Reuse
Committee. Bill earned a bachelor's degree in Finance at Miami
University and an MBA at Cleveland State University.
Bill Beagle is the recipient of numerous awards and commendations for
his public service, including the Watchdog of the Treasury Award from
the United Conservatives of Ohio, the Defender of Liberty from the
American Conservative Union, Friend of Agriculture Award from the Ohio
Farm Bureau, Small Business Advocate Award from the Council of Smaller
Enterprises and BioOhio Legislator of the Year. Bill has been
previously endorsed by the Ohio Manufacturing Association, the Ohio
Chamber of Commerce, the Ohio Society of CPA's, the National Federation
of Independent Business Ohio, Ohio Right to Life, the Ohio State
Medical Association, the Ohio Nurses Association, and the Ohio
Restaurant Association. He has also earned an "A" rating from
both the NRA and the Buckeye Firearms Association for his staunch
defense of our Second Amendment rights.
