Dear Neighbor,

It was an eventful week in the 66th House District! Clermont County did an excellent job celebrating President Ulysses S. Grant on what would have been his 200th birthday this past Wednesday. I was honored to speak at his birthday event and to shed light on what an amazing leader he was. In-district events also included a 70th wedding anniversary, the God and Country Service in New Richmond and a ribbon-cutting in Batavia. While it was a busy week at home, the business didn't stop in Columbus. I'm excited to report that House Bill 598, legislation I'm a co-sponsor of, received a first hearing in the House Government Oversight Committee. 

I want to remind everybody to read more about what I'm working on at the Statehouse by visiting my webpage here, or checking out my previous newsletters here. 

Please feel free to reach out to my office at rep66@ohiohouse.gov, or give me a call at (614) 644-6034. 

God Bless,

Adam Bird

Ohio's 66^th House District

President Grant's 200th Birthday Celebration

The 18th President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant was honored by his hometown of Clermont County with a series of bicentennial birthday events. The pinnacle of the week's events was on Wednesday, April 27. State Representative Adam Bird (R-New Richmond) and other elected officials gathered at the Land of Grant Trail for the Proclamation by dignitaries. Bird was featured as a speaker during the event. 

Other District Events

Bird extended his congratulations to 66th House District residents Charlie and Marian Higgins on their 70th wedding anniversary! 

Bird had the pleasure of connecting with constituents in Sardinia at the Pregnancy Resource Fundraiser, including two of the town's City Council members

"Huge crowd at the Pregnancy Resource Fundraiser at the Sardinia Church of Christ tonight. Great to meet so many including Sardinia Village Councilwomen Anna Turner and Peggy Vance.

The 66th House District continues to be a great place to start a business. Bird participated in the ribbon-cutting for Zeal Collective with Batavia's Mayor John Thebout. 

"Ran into Batavia Mayor John Thebout at today’s

@ClermontChamber ribbon cutting for the new business Zeal Collective in downtown Batavia." 

Bird attended New Richmond's God and Country Service. He took to the stage to celebrate two passions of his. 

"Honored to share the stage tonight at the God and Country service in New Richmond with two great Americans! John Hale and Commissioner David Painter."

The Ohio House Begins Hearing House Bill 598

Bird is proud to be a co-sponsor of House Bill 598, also known as the Human Life Protection Act. 

The bill is a proactive measure that will prepare Ohio to enforce its abortion law if either of the following occurs: 

• The United States Supreme Court allows states to prohibit abortion
• The U.S. Constitution is amended to authorize states to prohibit abortion

If granted authority over abortion, Ohio law would ban all abortions under the bill. Additionally, there would be a fourth-degree penalty for performing an illegal abortion in the state, immunity to women on whom an illegal abortion is performed and affirmative defense for abortions performed to save the life of a mother. 

Thirteen other states have passed similar legislation. 

"I'll always fight to protect the right to life," said Bird. "Due to recent events in the United States Supreme Court, I'm hopeful that power over abortion will soon be returned to individual states." 

The Human Life Protection Act now awaits a second hearing.
