COLUMBUS, OHIO — The Ohio Republican Party is proud to introduce Jay Edwards, the Republican candidate for Ohio Treasurer — a native son of Southeast Ohio with a proven record of delivering for Ohioans and a conservative vision for the state’s financial future.
Edwards was born and raised in Nelsonville, a small city in the heart of Southeast Ohio, and he never left. He still lives there today with his partner Jayde and their three children — a reminder that for Jay Edwards, this isn’t about a political career. It’s about the community he grew up in and the state he loves.
Inspired by President Trump to step up and serve, Edwards was first elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 2016 at just 27 years old. He went on to chair the House Finance Committee, where he helped deliver a $3.2 billion tax cut for Ohio families and fought to pass universal school choice — giving parents, not bureaucrats, control over their children’s education.
That record is exactly what Ohio needs in its next Treasurer. Edwards brings the financial credibility and conservative backbone to protect Ohio taxpayers, manage the state’s assets responsibly, and keep government accountable. He’s not a Columbus insider — he’s a Southeast Ohio conservative who has already proven he can get results.
The Ohio Republican Party is firmly behind Jay Edwards. Learn more about his campaign at edwardsforohio.com.
