Senator Peggy Lehner Announces Ohio Legislative Children's Caucus - Re-focuses State Efforts to Prioritize Ohio's 2.9 Million Kids

State Senator Peggy Lehner (R-Kettering) announced the creation of the Ohio Legislative Children's Caucus. The caucus is a bipartisan effort to prioritize Ohio's kids by focusing public policy and state funding to support proven strategies and identify innovative solutions to support Ohio's kids.  One issue to be uplifted by the new caucus is lead poisoning and prevention.

Along with a strong coalition of advocates and lawmakers, Lehner will serve as co-chair to lead the newly formed caucus.  "Ohio's children are Ohio's future. The wellbeing of our kids today is a clear indicator of our state's success tomorrow," said Senator Lehner. "With 1 in 5 Ohio children currently living in poverty, we need to re-evaluate what we are currently doing and make bold, educated investments in their future and success."
