Relative to the election of Jane M. Timken to fill the vacancy in the membership of the Senate for the 29th Senatorial District.

This resolution (SR 15) formally elects Jane M. Timken to fill a vacant seat in Ohio's Senate for the 29th District. Adopted by Republican Senate members on January 29, 2025, it follows Ohio's constitutional process for filling vacancies by election among senators of the same party. The resolution certifies Timken's appointment as a qualified Republican senator to serve the remainder of the term left vacant by Kirk Schuring's departure. This is a procedural action to complete the Senate membership, not a policy change.
