My name is Mike Bohland. In 2009 I graduated from the University of Toledo with a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering. I moved to Dublin, Ohio in 2009. I have worked for Honda ever since.

From the grace of God, I have a beautiful family (my wife Stephanie, my oldest Cooper, and my twins Stella and Colton). We recently added a Boston Terrier, Bella.

  • Campaign Finances are DISGUSTING! Have you ever imagined the outcome if we took all of the money spent on political campaigns and used it to solve every day problems? The NUMBER ONE reason I am running is to lead by example and hold our politicians accountable by passing legislation to force ITEMIZED RECEIPTS on campaign finance reports! Politicians are laundering money and it MUST STOP! FixOhioPolitics.com/finances
  • We MUST have medical FREEDOM! No one has the right to tell you to wear a mask or get a vaccine! I will pass legislation to prevent ANYONE from being forced to wear a mask again (schools, private businesses, etc)! I will also sign the HB248 discharge petition and will vote YES on HB248! Our current Representative, Tracy Richardson, does not believe in medical freedom. For a breakdown, check out... FixOhioPolitics.com/medicalfreedom
  • Election Integrity is a problem in Ohio! My job as an Electrical Engineer is to break stuff! Check out FixOhioPolitics.com/electionintegrity for details... I will bring honest elections back to Ohio by pushing election integrity legislation (1. Election DAY not election month, 2. A State issued Photo ID or Passport will be required to vote, 3. Ballot images, physical ballots, and Absentee ballots will be public record requests, 4. There will be NO ballot drop boxes, 5. County election board members will be ELECTED officials! Not appointed by the party central committees!, 6. The 100ft rule at polling locations is outdated! There will be NO campaigning at polling locations!)
Did you know that the State of Ohio's biggest tax expenditure is on the K-12 public school system? The same school system that is sexualizing our curriculum, invading academics with political ideologies, and promoting and administering Covid vaccines. Every decision I make will be to gradually remove the federal and state governments from education! Education needs to be controlled at the local level! The purpose and cost of programs can then be clear! Check out FixOhioPolitics.com/Schools


Most bills are crap! I will look at ways to break bills such that when they pass "unintended" loopholes are closed. I will also follow President Trump's strategy... For every bill added, two bills must be removed! Finally when a constitutional crisis occurs, I will PUSH the Ohio Assembly to operate with a sense of URGENCY!

My oldest son Cooper. God gave me Cooper. I've learned so much from him - more than any person in my life. Most importantly, he's brought me closer to God. I cannot fathom how something so perfect and beautiful is by chance.
Small, accountable government where the majority of responsibilities are determined and paid for at the local level.

The State of Ohio's job is to protect us from the federal government!

Finally, an elected official must always push AMERICA FIRST policies! No money should EVER be taken from special interest groups! Campaign finances should be clean! Elected officials must go back to being PUBLIC servants!
I look at how I will break something... and then rebuild it correctly... This skill is important removing "unintended" loopholes from bills.
Our state representatives have two jobs:

1. Protect us from an overreaching federal government.  State level decisions are important!  Over the last two years, our state government could have overrode Governor DeWine and protected us from ALL  Covid restrictions.  Instead, most of our state representatives failed us and did the bare minimum.    

2. VOTE  and inform their constituents of policy and  WHY  they voted a particular way.  Have you ever wondered why your political representatives voted a particular way?  It is impossible to find.  I asked Tracy Richardson why she doesn't write a small summary on why she voted yes or no on bills.  Her response disturbed me, "Do you know how long that would take?"   THAT IS A STATE REPRESENTATIVE'S JOB! I will document the reason of EVERY on my website.
I will bring integrity back to campaign finances. I will remove the political money laundering by both parties!
The ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature is
No. I think we would be better off if we picked our state legislators randomly from every district across the State of Ohio! Everyday people know how to solve problems! Everyday people fear God and will do the right thing!
You're never going to make everyone happy... As long as there is integrity in the elections I am happy. The people ultimately will vote!
1. Government Oversight Committee (To fix campaign finances and election integrity)

2. Primary and Secondary Education Committee (All decisions need to be made on the local level!)

3. Health (Masks must never be mandated by anyone every again! HB248 must be passed!)
My interest is making the State of Ohio and the United State of America a wonderful place full of opportunity for my kids. God will ultimately tell me where I am needed!
The very first family that signed my petition to get on the ballot showed me a copy of the Communist Rules for Revolution that was obtained in May of 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany by the Allied Forces. These portions ESPECIALLY apply to today...

A. Corrupt the young. get them away from religion, get them interested in sex. Make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness.
B. Get control of all means publicity thereby:
1. Get the peoples minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays and other trivialities.

2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
Yes. I think the last 2 years of overreach from Governor DeWine has proven that emergency powers need to be overseen.
From a conservative perspective "compromise" has gotten us into this political mess! We need an Ohio Assembly that is going to say NO!
