My name is Brian Flick, Democratic Candidate for Ohio House of Representatives District 62. After graduating from Adrian College and getting my law degree from the Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law, I’ve been practicing law for over 15 years in areas including Mortgage Servicing Litigation, Foreclosure Defense, Consumer Bankruptcy, Consumer Litigation, and Class Action Litigation. The majority of my day is spent assisting families saving their homes from foreclosure, fighting for consumers who have been victimized by debt collectors, banks and payday lenders, and doing everything I can to save a piece of the American Dream for everyone. I care about our community, and I am committed to making it a place where people can thrive. I promise reasonable thinking and collaboration. The people of District 62 deserve to be confident in knowing that their representative in Columbus is an advocate who shares their values and goals, not a politician who serves the needs of her wallet and special interests.
  • The state of our economy is top priority for most Ohioans. It is time for representation that works aggressively to seek opportunities for economic development to come to – and stay in – District 62. I am committed to working together to develop strategies for economic success. These strategies include fair tax policy, increases to Ohio’s minimum wage, improving technology access in rural areas and help for local government. I will fight every day as your representative to protect the needs of the working and middle class, and to ensure that every family can keep its piece of the American Dream.
  • The Ohio Statehouse is considered the most corrupt in the country. As your representative, I will always be transparent and never be beholden to special interests. Holding those in power responsible is a central thread of my work in the private sector. For example, on behalf of Ohio workers, I sued to hold Governor Dewine accountable for unconstitutionally ending Federal Pandemic Unemployment Benefits. In another case, I sued the Ohio Department of Public Safety for illegally taking $1.50 from every Ohioan for laminating driver’s licenses when it was no longer being done. Doing the right thing matters, and now more than ever we need to restore integrity and accountability to the Ohio Statehouse.
  • District 62 must be a place where people feel safe, valued and proud to work and raise their families. Every person in District 62, Ohio, and the United States is entitled to access to healthcare, and to their own bodily autonomy. I will fight each and every piece of legislation that attacks that fundamental right and support efforts to reinstate the guarantees of Roe v. Wade in Ohio. I believe people need to be able to afford their medical prescriptions, and not have to choose between paying for medications or putting food on the table. I support common-sense gun safety measures and responsible gun ownership. I will fight every day as your representative to ensure more funding comes from Columbus to ensure the health, safety and welfa
I am passionate about making the lives of everyone in District 62, Ohio, and the Country better. My primary focuses are on issues of women's rights, bodily autonomy, healthcare, education, government accountability and corporate accountability.
A successful officerholder is one who is a dealer in hope, makes themselves available to their constituents at all times, makes decisions based on what is best for the needs of the District, and is always looking for opportunities to improve the lives of every constituent.
My very first job was working at a Toys-R-Us. I had the job over a Christmas season and learned a lot of lessons there about the value of hard work, communicating with people of all socioconomic levels, and corporate structure.
Ohio's biggest challenge is and will remain for the next decade the failure of effective representation at the Ohio Statehouse as we have been ruled for far too long by one political party who is more interested in the needs of special interests than the needs of the people for Ohio.

In order to meet this challenge District 62 and all of Ohio needs to bring in representatives who will champion the values of Ohioans.
In order to ensure effective representation for not only District 62 but all of Ohio, it is crucial to build and maintain open lines of communications across the aisle as well as within the caucus.
The ability to reach across the aisle in a bi-partisan matter is crucial to advancing policy goals in the Statehouse.
