ASHLAND — The Ashland Mayor’s wife is looking to male herself at home in a bigger home: the Statehouse. Melanie Miller announced today that she will seek the Republican nomination for the newly
created Ohio House of Representatives District 67. Miller has served as the Executive Director of the Ashland Pregnancy Care Center for the past seven years, and prior to that she served as the Director of Youth Programming at the Salvation Army Kroc Center.
“I am running to represent Ashland and Medina Counties because we need someone in this position who will work hard to make sure that our freedoms are protected, our families and children, both born and unborn, are supported, and our local businesses and communities have the tools they need to be successful.”
“People want a representative with substance—someone who will do more than simply recite an empty political talking point,” said Miller. “I’ve talked with people all across Ashland and Medina County, everyone wants someone who will actually work hard to help solve the issues facing our communities, someone who will do their homework and make sure that the legislation that passes in Columbus will actually help and not hurt our local communities. I believe my track record shows that I will do just that”

Melanie has been a fierce advocate for the unborn and has spent years on the frontline of the fight to end abortion. In 2016, she helped lead the effort in the Statehouse to defund Planned Parenthood, and in 2017, she was part of the coalition that urged Congress to pass a Federal Heartbeat Bill. In 2021, she developed a plan to offer Abortion Pill Reversal services and medication to those in need.
“There are so many positive things happening in our city and county right now, and it is so im-
portant that our next state representative be from Ashland County,” said Miller. “I will champion the conservative values that have built our country, and I will work hard to make sure that Ashland and Medina County get the support that we need from Columbus to continue to grow our communities.”
According to Miller, who serves as an Advisory Board member for Ashland’s Salvation Army Kroc Center and as secretary of the Ashland County Ministerial Association, policies that encourage strong, healthy families will be a top priority.
“If we want to create strong, vibrant communities then we must work hard to reclaim our culture
by strengthening our families,” said Miller. “We must recognize the supreme value of every life, and we must be sure the laws and policies that our government puts into place encourage
personal responsibility, decency, honor and integrity.”
“People are looking for fresh leaders with new energy who are committed to making sure that
our northeast Ohio has a strong voice in the Ohio Statehouse.”
Miller is married to Ashland Mayor Matt Miller, and they reside in Ashland.
