Conditt, who announced her resignation last week, said she is resigning to be able to spend more time with family.
Conditt was appointed to the open House seat in 2011, when it was the 55th Ohio House District, and won election and two re-elections in 2012, 2014 and 2016.

Last week, Butler County Democratic Party Chairwoman Jocelyn Bucaro expressed disappointment in Conditt’s resignation and says it opens the door “to enable Republican Party insiders to anoint yet another successor who answers to party bosses and not the voters they’re supposed to represent.”
“We are disappointed that Rep. Conditt will not serve even half of her term and question why she ran for re-election last year,” she said.
