State Sen. Kristina Roegner (R-27) was inspired to run for office by her father, who also served in elected office: "I thought it was a great way to give back to the community, it was a way to really make a difference. I watched that, I was inspired, and did the same."

There are a lot of things Roegner loves about her district, but thinks "one thing the people from across Ohio don't talk enough about that happens in our district is there's some really cool festivals, from the Christkindlmarkt in Hudson, Ohio down to the Beet Festival in Kidron."

Roegner's hidden talent? "A hidden talent of mine is a newly acquired one, and that is, I'm a beekeeper. Every year we harvest honey and it's a lot of fun."
