State Rep. Elgin Rogers, Jr. (D-Toledo) was sworn into the 136th Ohio General Assembly last week. Rep. Rogers now represents Ohio House District 42 which includes Toledo, Oregon, and Jerusalem Township all located within Lucas County. The newly constructed House district covers some portions of the previous House District 44 which covered portions of Lucas, Ottawa, and Wood counties.
“While serving in the House is an honor and a privilege, it is also an obligation to work on the behalf of every Ohioan and help to improve the quality and opportunity this great state has to offer. I am grateful to all the families and friends that I have made in Elmore, Genoa, Northwood, Oregon, and Toledo for their kindness and support,” said Rep. Rogers.
Rep. Rogers will retain his existing district telephone number (614-466-1401). There is a new email address (rep42@ohiohouse.gov<mailto:rep42@ohiohouse.gov>) to correspond with his district changing.
Rep. Rogers has served as the top ranking Democrat on the House Energy and Natural Resources committee during the 135th General Assembly. Rep Rogers is a native of Toledo, Ohio and is a graduate of Jesup W. Scott High School.
In addition to his service as a state legislator, he has served in high-functioning roles in government as director of multiple departments in the Lucas County Auditor’s office and as an administrator with the Lucas County Board of Commissioners.
