Local News May 25, 2023 COLUMBUS – The House Transportation Committee passed legislation sponsored by state Reps. Ron Ferguson, R-Wintersville, and Beth Lear, R-Galena, creating the Representative Kris Jordan Memorial Highway. Jordan, a Republican from Ostrander, died earlier this year while serving in the Ohio House. Jordan's three children, Macy, David and Everly gave testimony in support of the legislation commemorating their dad. 'Representative Jordan was not only a colleague, but a very dear friend to many of us,' Lear said.
