Previously he was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, serving in that body from 2015 to 2018. He is the son of state Representative Gayle Manning and former state Representative Jeffrey Manning.[1]

Career

Manning was an assistant prosecutor for the city of North Ridgeville before running for office.[1] Manning is a graduate of Denison University and Capital University Law School.[2]

Elections

In 2014, Manning ran for the Ohio House of Representatives to succeed the term-limited Matt Lundy.[1] In the general election, Manning defeated his opponent, Democrat Brendan Mackin, 56%-44% to take the seat.[3]

In 2018, Manning ran for the Ohio Senate, defeating Democrat opponent, Sharon Sweda, 53%-44% to take the seat.[4]

In 2022, Manning won reelection against Democrat challenger Anthony Eliopoulos, 58%-42%.[5]

Political Positions

Manning has been described as being a “moderate” politically.

Manning has said he favors phasing out the income tax in Ohio over the next decade.

Manning has opposed and called for the full repeal of the controversial "Ohio House Bill 6", which provided subsidies for two nuclear power plants in Ohio.[6] This bill was part of the Ohio nuclear bribery scandal.

Manning describes himself as pro-life and only supporting exceptions for rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is in danger.[6] However, Manning has generally voted against anti-abortion legislation such as voting against the Ohio Heartbeat Bill which would ban abortions at around six weeks gestational age.[7]

Manning voted against a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors and restrict transgender women from participating in women's sports, being the only Republican Ohio Senator to do so.[8]
