State Rep. Nick Santucci | The Ohio House of Representatives
State Representative Nick Santucci, a Republican from Niles, has been sworn in for his second term in the Ohio House of Representatives. During this term, he will serve as majority whip on Speaker Matt Huffman's leadership team. Santucci represents the 64th House District, which includes part of Trumbull County.
“It is an honor to be elected by my peers as Majority Whip in the Ohio House,” Santucci stated. “I believe this role is vital in uniting our caucus and delivering results for Ohio. From fostering communication to advancing our priorities, I’m ready to serve. I am grateful to my colleagues for their confidence and deeply appreciative of the opportunity to work directly with Speaker Huffman to help move the needle for working families across Ohio.”
Santucci is notable for being the first representative from Trumbull County elected as majority whip in 48 years. In his previous term, he contributed to significant legislation that expanded emergency medical services training, improved blight and brownfield remediation efforts in Ohio, combated human trafficking, and secured substantial state funding for Trumbull County.
The swearing-in took place during Monday's session, marking the start of the 136th General Assembly.
