Senator Huffman is serving his first term in the Ohio Senate, representing the people of the 5th Senate District, which includes all of Miami and Preble counties in addition to portions of Darke and Montgomery counties.

While it may not be a presidential or gubernatorial election year, local government positions are just as important. Please plan to attend, so that you can cast an informed vote this November.” said Jaime LeVeck, DCRWC President.
