“House District 49 ranks as one of the most diverse in Ohio, from the strong agricultural component to the east, the heavy industry and blue-collar areas in Oregon and North Toledo, the wonderful small business community in the Point Place and Shoreland areas, to the regionally renowned commercial/retail area in the western part of the district. I am proud to have the opportunity to run for this seat, and I pledge to represent the interests of District 49 in Columbus honestly, and to the very best of my ability.”
- Matt Szollosi
