Why did Ohio State Representative Cindy Abrams (R-29) first run for office? "I decided to run for office to make a change at the local level." Before serving in the Ohio House, Abrams was on her local City Council: "I do believe [public service] is a calling and it's in your heart."

Her priorities this legislative session include public safety, jobs and living wages, and keeping people in Ohio.

In high school, Abrams first job was working for the local public library: "Those of you that know me well know that I like to talk, so I had to actually be quiet while I was at work, which was very hard for me."
