Ohio House of Representatives

[edit]

Former Ohio House Representative John Widowfield resigned his seat in 2008, allowing House Republicans to name a replacement through appointment. Nero sought the seat, and was named the replacement.[2] He was sworn into office on June 12, 2008.

With the seat up for election in 2008, Nero had to run for election to a full term to retain the seat. However, with the year favoring Democrats, and with Barack Obama topping the ballot, Nero was defeated by Mike Moran, a Democrat. The final tally was 55.87% to 44.13%.[3]

Nero spent six months in the Ohio House. He has since returned to the private sector.
