Responsibilties of a State Representative
A State Representative is an elected official whose job is to serve as a direct link between those Ohioans he
or she was elected to represent and state government. In order to best fulfill this role, a representative responds to constituent
concerns and works to provide solutions through legislative action. In order to best serve their constituents, a state representative
attends meetings of their local civic, social and business groups in addition to responding to mail, email and telephone correspondence
from constituents in their district. *Quoted from Ohio House of Representatives website: http://www.house.state.oh.us
