Columbus, OH – Today, Americans for Prosperity-Ohio (AFP-OH) announced its endorsement of State Rep. Steve Demetriou for Ohio Senate District 27, recognizing his proven leadership on health care access, regulatory reform, and expanding opportunity for Ohio families.

Tim Ross, Deputy State Director and Political Director for AFP-OH said:

“Rep. Steve Demetriou understands that lasting reform comes from removing barriers that hold people back, not growing government. His leadership on regulatory reform and health care access reflects the kind of commonsense, solutions-oriented approach that families and workers need right now. We are proud to support him and his continued service.

“From expanding access to health care to supporting educational freedom, Rep. Demetriou has consistently shown that he is committed to building an Ohio where opportunity is within reach for everyone.”

Demetriou has been a key partner to AFP-Ohio on health care reform, helping expand the ability of health care professionals to practice and improving patient access to care. He has also been a consistent advocate for regulatory reform, working to reduce unnecessary red tape that stifles competition and increases costs. In education, Demetriou played an instrumental role in expanding educational opportunity, including supporting the AFP-backed Backpack Scholarship Program to strengthen school choice options for Ohio families.

With this endorsement, Americans for Prosperity continues its commitment to supporting leaders who champion free markets, limited government, and policies that create a stronger future for Ohio.
