What Drives This Campaign?
Louis Murphy is a lifelong Ashtabula resident and local educator running for State Representative to deliver real, active representation to Ohio’s 99th District. Frustrated by the status quo where our representatives focus more on party politics than the issues that affect us, Louis is stepping up to ensure our neighbors have a dedicated voice in Columbus.
Deep Community Roots
Raised by a public school educator who taught at Jefferson for nearly 40 years, Louis understands the profound impact of public service. A proud product of Geneva Schools, he continues his family’s legacy today by teaching at Lakeside and coaching at Edgewood. Working in our schools and with parents gives Louis a firsthand understanding of the everyday challenges facing our neighbors.
Proven Policy Experience
Louis’s dedication is backed by expertise.
With a Master’s degree in Environmental Policy and Global Sustainable Development from Lehigh University, he's already put his knowledge to work locally. As an environmental policy analyst for Geneva-on-the-Lake, Louis secured critical funding and grants to combat devastating shoreline erosion.
"I want to put my experience to work as an advocate for our residents. I'm committed to working with experts from various backgrounds and both sides of the aisle in order to make our vision of a more represented district a reality. My goal is to put people over parties. I'm running for office to let our voices be heard. "
