LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Newly elected representative Matt Huffman could be moving from the Senate president seat to Speaker of the House in 2025.
Matt Huffman is one of a few people who have considered running for the speaker's seat.
The current speaker, Jason Stephens, says he will not seek re-election for the position when the new term begins in January. Huffman was uncontested in the race for the state's 78th District, which represents Allen and part of Auglaize County. Huffman is one of a few people who have considered running for the speaker's seat. The Republicans will hold a 65-to-34 advantage in the House when the new session begins next year.
There are media reports of an internal vote of the House Republicans expected to take place this week to decide who will get the nomination before the January vote.
