Dear Friend,

Many across our district recently took time to celebrate Passover and Easter. This beautiful time of year is a time to reflect and refresh.

I head back to Washington next week, but wanted to share some highlights from the last few days.

• Along with Senator Husted and Governor DeWine, I met with STEM students at the Great Lakes Science Center. We also discussed our efforts to make Ohio the new home of NASA Headquarters.
• I was pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 Congressional Art competition at a reception with the finalists and their families. See the winners below.

I was joined by Governor DeWine and Senator Husted to meet with STEM students at the Great Lakes Science Center. We also met with the media to discuss Ohio’s effort to become the new home of NASA’s headquarters and expand missions for the world’s leading space organization.

Ohio is ready to take NASA to new heights. From cutting-edge research to a skilled, motivated workforce, this state has everything needed to propel the agency into the future. We’re not just prepared; we’re built for it. NASA Glenn is where innovation happens. A fresh, reenergized workforce in Ohio would ensure that NASA remains at the forefront of innovation, unburdened by the inertia of outdated structures in Washington. The students we met with at the science center are proof of that. STEM is all about solving real problems. We need sharp, creative minds to lead in AI, robotics, and space technology. These students are future leaders, scientists, doctors, and astronauts. Ohio really does lead the way.
