Senate seat candidate: Rep. Bill Coley
Rep. Bill Coley, R-Liberty Twp., compared being in the state legislature on a team.
“The legislature is very much a team sport, and I just love working with it — working with people on both sides of the aisle,” he said.
Coley said he can accomplish many things he’s set in motion in the House by staying on Capitol Square.
“I would like the opportunity to keep working on what I’ve been working on,” he said, “which is to reform state and local government, to drive down the cost of government and thus enabling us to lower tax rates and do things more efficiently around the state.”
Though he’s been told, Coley doesn’t see himself as the “front-runner” for the appointment. He’s flattered his “experience and reputation for hard work has put me in the position … but I don’t view that as the case at all,” he said. “This is a wide open process.”

Coley wants the opportunity to keep doing what he’s been doing? So far the people of Butler County don’t have a clue what he’s done in four terms. What has his so called experience done for BC? Coley works for the lobbyist not me.
