When questioned why he was running for the office, Martin replied, “This is an opportunity for me to serve a greater number of people on a broader set of issues. I’ve been working for the Republican Party and would like to continue with the established tradition of Republican values in Greene County. I am fiscally conservative and take a common-sense approach to problem solving. I am looking forward to continuing my work with the party as we move ahead. I am excited about Ohio’s future and the future of our district.”
