Senate seat candidate: Rep. Tim Derickson
The next step in Rep. Tim Derickson’s career is the Ohio Senate, said the two-term state representative.
Derickson, R-Hanover Twp., said his time in the state House, and nine years as a Hanover Twp. trustee, “has really prepared me to take the next step.” That’s the state senate, which represents three times as many people.
He plans to continue his agenda he started in the Ohio House.
“I would love to see and continue to work toward making (higher education) a little more affordable than it now is,” Derickson said. “I’d like to see the unemployment rate drop, see more jobs brought to Butler County.
“My interest is selfish is that I want to see Butler County be in better financial state by creating more jobs. That’s a high priority for me” he said.
But Derickson’s short-term sites are set on tonight.
“I think earning the respect and the vote of the party is what I desire more than anything,” he said.

Derickson would represent the whole county, Coley would represent Liberty and West Chester.
