Kilbane announces bid for Ohio House seat in 63rd District
Huron County businessman and county commissioner Tom Kilbane filed petitions to run for state representative in the 63rd District, which includes parts of Lorain, Huron and Erie counties. He backs four themes: public school funding, economic development, toll-free county services, and expanding programs like the Passport for seniors. Kilbane cites experience as a teacher, school board member, and Kilbane Advertising president to justify his candidacy and supports a current ballot proposal for a half-cent tax for schools and a half-cent homestead tax.
