Education

A graduate of the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State University, Hood earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration in 1991.[1] He had dual majors in marketing and economics.

Political career

In 1992, Hood ran for an open seat in the Ohio House of Representatives, but lost by a narrow margin. In 1994, Hood ran again and was elected to represent the 57th district, a position he held for three terms. In 2005, he won a close race for the 91st district with a 5.28% margin.[2] He has served on both the House Commerce and Labor Committee and the House Criminal Justice Committee.

In 2019 Ron Hood and Candice Keller sponsored legislation that would ban abortion in Ohio and require doctors to "reimplant" ectopic pregnancies into the uterus, which is not medically possible, or face charges for "abortion murder".[3][4][5] Hood sponsored a heartbeat bill in 2018 that did not pass.[6] A later heartbeat bill introduced in the senate in 2019 was signed into law but did not take effect due to court action.[7]

Personal life

In 2001, Hood married Michal Marie Dean of Xenia, Ohio. The couple soon after relocated to central Ohio where he returned to the legislature for an additional term in 2005. Mr. and Mrs. Hood reside in Ashville, Ohio, with their daughter Ellah and son Edward.
