COLUMBUS– The Ohio General Assembly today held their Opening Ceremonies
for the 131st General Assembly, officially marking the beginning of the
new legislative session.
During the ceremonies, State Senator Bill Beagle (R–Tipp City) was
sworn in for his second term in the Ohio Senate, representing the 5th

handily won reelection to the seat in the November 4, 2014 General
Election.
“I’m proud to be returning to the Senate and am thankful for the
support from our community,” said Beagle. “I’m excited to get back to
work serving the people of the district.”
During the 130th General Assembly, Senator Beagle was named the
Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Workforce and Economic
Development. The recently formed panel has been tasked with pairing
workforce development and educational opportunities with in-demand
industries in order to help Ohioans retool their skills and find stable
employment.
Prior to his service in the Ohio Senate, Beagle served as a member of
the Tipp City Council where he served as Council President. He is also
a former member of the Tipp-Monroe Community Services Board, the Tipp
City Power Plant Reuse Committee, the Tipp City Planning Board, and the
Tipp City Public Library Board of Trustees. He also worked for several
years in the banking and finance industry.
Senator Beagle received his bachelor's degree in finance from Miami
University and earned an MBA from Cleveland State University. He and
his wife Karen live in Tipp City with their three children.
Beagle’s oath of office was administered by the Honorable Sharon
Kennedy, Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court in the Senate Chamber in the
historic Ohio Statehouse.
Each term in the Ohio Senate extends four years. Beagle’s term will
expire at midnight on December 31, 2018.
