Republican Jane Timken was selected to fill vacancy in the Ohio Senate. She plans to focus on economic development and making Ohio a "top-tier state."

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane Timken is headed to the Statehouse. Timken, who unsuccessfully ran to be a U.S. Senator, will instead replace state Sen. Kirk Schuring in the Ohio Senate.

Jane Timken, who served as the head of the state Republican Party and ran for U.S. Senate in 2022, has been chosen to fill a vacancy in the Ohio Senate.

Timken was newly-elected President Trump’s pick to lead the Ohio GOP when she ousted Matt Borges in 2017. Borges had supported former Ohio Gov. John Kasich as he ran against Trump in the 2016 primary, and had not been an enthusiastic supporter after Trump became the GOP nominee.

Former Lt. Gov., now U.S. Senator, Jon Husted’s move to D.C. opens a vacancy for Gov. Mike DeWine’s second-in-command — but also for governor. Here are some names to watch.

The Cincinnati-born Timken, who is now based in Canton, will replace the late Kirk Schuring, a Jackson Township Republican who died of cancer last November.

With Lt. Gov. Jon Husted stepping into the Senate vacancy left by newly inaugurated Vice President J.D. Vance, Gov. Mike DeWine has another important seat to fill.
