Coley's Ohio Senate section needs to be updated to represent new committee assignments as follows: The intro section also needs to be updated as follows:

Bill Coley is a Republican member of the Ohio Senate, representing the 4th District since 2011. Formerly, he was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 2005 to 2011. He is currently Chairman of the Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee.

Ohio Senate

In early May of 2011, Ohio Governor John Kasich announced that he would appoint Senator Gary Cates to a position within the Ohio Board of Regents. As a result, Cates would be required to resign his Senate seat, which he announced he would do effective May 23, 2011. Soon after, Coley announced that he would seek a seat in the Ohio Senate, following Gary Cates resignation.^[1]

Coley, along with Timothy Derickson and three other citizens of Butler County, sought the seat, but in the end, Coley received the recommendation of the Butler County Republican Party and was chosen by Senate Republicans to succeed Cates in representing the Fourth District. He took his seat on May 24, 2011, and was required to resign his seat in the Ohio House of Representatives to do so.^[2]

Now in the Senate, Coley is serving on the committees of Education; Energy and Public Utilities; Financial Institutions; and Government Oversight and Reform (as chairman). He also serves on the the eTech Ohio Commission.
