The resolution adopted by the Ohio Senate addresses the election of Jane M. Timken to fill a vacancy in the Senate for the 29th Senatorial District. This vacancy arose following the passing of Senator Kirk Schuring in November 2024. According to Section 11 of Article II of the Ohio Constitution, the vacancy must be filled by election among members of the Senate who belong to the same political party as the last elected senator.

The resolution confirms that Jane M. Timken, a Republican, meets the qualifications required by the Ohio Constitution and state laws to serve as a member of the Senate from the 29th District. The Senate members affiliated with the Republican party have elected her to fill the vacancy. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a copy be recorded in the Senate journal, along with the voting record of the Republican members, and that the Clerk of the Senate certify the resolution and the vote to the Secretary of State.
