Controversy
[edit]In May 2025, reports were made public of allegations regarding sexual misconduct with an underage family member of then-State Representative Rodney Creech. An investigation into the matter yielded claims made by his family, but no criminal charges were pursued by local authorities.[5] Members of the Ohio Republican Party openly called for Creech's resignation[6] following his removal from committee assignments by House Speaker Matt Huffman.
