Leading our community
Thom Collier is a natural born leader who has repeatedly used his gift to improve our community. He is a founding board member of the local crisis pregnancy center and formerly a national board member of the Exchange Club. Several years ago, when municipal leaders casually dismissed his requests for help with a simple drainage problem, Thom decided to enter public service and vowed to make constituents’ needs a priority. He has done just that, earning numerous awards for his responsive, personal approach to governing.

A bold conservative record
As a state representative for 8 years, Thom built an impressive conservative record. His bold policies include introducing legislation to eliminate the Ohio income tax, reduce bureaucracy, save taxpayer dollars, strengthen families and schools, and improve public safety. Among other achievements, Thom was instrumental in shaping a corporate tax reform package that eliminated the corporate franchise and tangible personal property taxes, and cut the income tax of every Ohioan by 21 percent.
