State Representative Tex Fischer is a small business owner serving his first full term in the Ohio House. He represents the 59th district, which encompasses southern Mahoning County and northwest Columbiana County. Representative Fischer is the son of a teacher, the grandson of an auto worker, and a proud Mahoning Valley native. Born and raised in Youngstown, Tex now lives in Canfield with his wife. Before joining the Ohio House, Tex spent ten years working on the ground to advance conservative policy and ideals. He started his career working for Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA in 2015, later being promoted to a regional manager, overseeing operations across four states for the organization. Most recently, he served as the National Field Director for the American Conservation Coalition from 2018 to 2021. After leading the ACC’s Field Department, he chose to pursue building his business full-time. He and his partners have built a national client base in the digital media space and have helped elect Republicans in seven states. Representative Fischer has been heavily involved in community causes and campaigns for the last decade and serves in leadership of the Mahoning County Republican Party. In 2025, Tex co-founded the bipartisan Lake to River Caucus, which aims to help better advocate for the needs of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana Counties in Columbus.
