Andrew O. Brenner is an American politician who is a member of the Ohio House of Representatives and a Republican. He was elected to represent the Second[citation needed] District in 2011, and the 67th district in 2012.[1]
Personal life and education
Brenner is a graduate of Ohio State University.[citation needed]
Brenner's wife is a Councilwoman and owns Prestige Music Studios, a private music business in Powell, Ohio.[2]
Recorders Office
In October 2010, while Brenner was working as County Recorder, Richard Bird claimed that ACS software company was given an unfair advantage in a bidding process. The commissioners voted to reject all bids after they received protest from Cott Systems and Document Technology systems Ltd. Assistant prosecutor, Aric Hochstettler, said that rejecting all of the bids rendered any threats of litigation moot.[3] The commissioners then voted to sign a short-term contract with ACS in the interim.[4]
In 2010, former Representative Kris Jordan moved to the Ohio Senante, and Brenner ran for his open seat. Jordan's wife, Melissa was appointed to fill Brenner's position as Recorder.[5]
Ohio House of Representatives
In the Republican Primary, Brenner faced five opponents collecting 24.4% of the vote.[6] In the general election, Brenner faced Richard Bird, he won by 26,000 votes.[7]
Brenner was sworn in for his first term on January 3, 2011. He currently serves on the committees of Education; Financial Institutions, Housing and Urban Development; Local Government; and Rules and Reference. In November of 2011, election officials voted 6-0 to not investigate whether there were any links between loans he made to his campaign and tax liens against the business his wife owns and which he is the Vice President.[8]
In 2012, Brenner defeated Craig Schweitzer in the republican primary, and then went on to win reelection in November against democrat David Hogan.[9]
Policies, positions and initiatives
Brenner sponsored a bill that created a three-year pilot program involving screening and special instruction for students with dyslexia in cooperation with a local library. The measure was sponsored with Ted Celeste. It aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early reading assistance programs for children with dyslexia and to evaluate whether those programs can reduce future special education costs.[10] The bill would officially recognize dyslexia as a learning disability under state law.[11]
