About

Jean Schmidt

Jean Schmidt is a proven conservative fighter with a record of delivering results for Clermont County and Ohio. From township trustee to the Ohio House to the United States Congress, Jean has built a reputation as a fearless advocate who stands her ground and gets things done.

Jean began her public service as a Miami Township Trustee, where she helped found the Coalition of Large Urban Townships (CLOUT) to fight for the shared concerns of growing communities. She was also instrumental in creating the Miami Township Park System — now the largest local government park system in Clermont County.

In the Ohio House of Representatives, Jean has fought tirelessly for Clermont County families. She has worked to lower income taxes, pushed to get property tax costs under control, and secured funding for important local projects. In Columbus, she has stood up to unelected bureaucrats while defending the values and interests of her constituents.  Her work isn't done yet!

A steadfast conservative, Jean has supported the Save Women’s Sports Act, co-authored the Second Amendment Protection Act, and consistently stood up for constitutional freedoms. A former President of Cincinnati Right to Life, she has voted for every pro-life bill that came before her and has long been a leading voice for the unborn and Ohio families.  She championed tax relief, spearheaded criminal justice reform, and stood firmly against Obamacare.

Beyond elected office, Jean remains deeply involved in the community. She has served on the Board of the Clermont County Public Library, taught Government and the Constitution at Chatfield College, and for 24 years has coached cross country at St. Andrew–St. Elizabeth Seton Junior High. She also volunteers at City Gospel Mission, helping those recovering from addiction through therapeutic running.

An accomplished endurance athlete, Jean has completed 172 marathons in all 50 states, including 24 Boston Marathons.

Jean lives in Miami Township. She is the proud mother of Emilie and grandmother to Michael and Anthony.
