State Senator Bill Beagle
Beagle
Announces Candidacy for 8th Ohio Congressional District
TIPP CITY– State Senator Bill Beagle (R–Tipp City) today announced that
he is entering the race to succeed John Boehner to represent the 8th
Ohio Congressional District. Senator Beagle currently represents the
5th Ohio Senate District, which includes Miami, Preble, and portions of
Darke and Montgomery Counties.
“After a great deal of consideration and discussions with my wife and
family, I have decided that I am prepared to make this commitment to
the people of Southwest Ohio. I am running because our country needs
problem‐solving leaders at the helm who have the fortitude to get
things done – and we need
that now more than ever. The citizens of the 8th District deserve
to be represented by a conservative
they can trust and who has the know‐how to hit the ground running. I am
proud of the work I have done at the Statehouse to get Ohio back on
track and I am ready to do my part to help get our great country headed
in the right direction again.
“When I first ran for public office five years ago, Ohio was broken,
just like Washington is today. Many of the decisions I’ve made since
then have been tough, but those decisions helped to turn a massive
budget shortfall into a surplus and turned record job losses into real
opportunity for Southwest Ohio.
“Since my first day in public office, I have been focused on
strengthening our economy and building an economic environment that
instills confidence in job creators to locate and grow their businesses
here in Ohio. My proven track record of fighting for common sense
policies to balance our budget, cut taxes for the middle class,
streamline regulations and get government out of the way of the private
sector is exactly what we need more of in Washington.
“I firmly believe that while government may be complex, simple rules
should still apply. These are the same rules that apply to all of us
and govern the daily decisions we make as spouses, parents, neighbors
and employees: stay true to your conservative principles, live within
your means, listen to the people around you, don’t put off difficult
decisions and invest in our children's future. I’m running for
Congress because I am on a mission and that 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.”
Bill Beagle has served in the Ohio Senate since January of 2011,
representing the 5th District. He received his bachelor’s degree in
finance from Miami University and earned an MBA from Cleveland State
University. He and his wife of 28 years, Karen, reside in Tipp City and
are the proud parents of three children.
