Ohio House Of Representatives; Phone Directory

The congress of the United States is bicameral; it has an upper house which is called the United States Senate and a lower house which is called the United States House of Representatives. The Senate and the House have well established powers and duties: the House is responsible for the laws that will be applied to the whole country and the Senate, together with the president of the United States, is responsible for agreeing with the expenses that will be generated by the changes implemented by the new law.




The state of representatives is limited to a maximum number of 453 members, and each state is allowed to a number of representatives proportional to the population in each state, at least one member for each state, whereas the senate has an equal number of people representing each state.

The two Chambers have different duties and responsibilities but no law can pass to the executive without both of their approval.

There are a few requirements that the members of the House of Representatives should meet: they must have at least the age of twenty five years old, they should have been a citizen of the United States for the past ten years, they have to be inhabitants of the district they are going to represent and of course they need to have a clean criminal record.

The elections for the members of the House of Representatives are held every two years and they can be expelled if their attitude is not suitable for the political career. Only few of them were expelled from the House, for corruption, bribe and criminal convictions.

The Ohio House of Representatives now has 99 member whom you can all contact and if you have something to ask or to share and whose telephone numbers can be found in the phone directory, both on the house’s web site and on the online directory of the Ohio state. If you enter the online web site of the House you will be able to read a welcome message on the first page that invites you to go there and inquire about their legislative projects and see for yourself the people you elected. This means a lot for the common people that sometimes regard people who work in the government institutions with disbelief, and the fact that you can find the number of the politicians from the Ohio House of Representatives in the city’s phone directory means a lot to them.

Gaining trust from the population is a very difficult matter, especially for these times, when crisis has hit especially people with mid to low incomes, people that represent more that half of the inhabitants of this state. Keep up the good work!
