Steve Driehaus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steven L. Driehaus of Cincinnati, Ohio was first elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in November, 2000. As House minority whip — a post he has held since 2003 — Driehaus has taken a leadership role on issues such as election law and redistricting reform[1].
A fiscal conservative, Rep. Driehaus is the sponsor of legislation that would force a review of the billions of dollars Ohio now foregoes in "tax expenditures."
Driehaus, a 1984 graduate of Elder High School in Cincinnati, studied political science at Miami University and holds a masters degree in public affairs from Indiana University. He later served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, where he worked with village groups and local schools to promote sustainable environmental practices.
Driehaus formerly directed and now serves as a consultant to the Community Building Institute, a collaborative effort of Xavier University and United Way & Community Chest that promotes citizen-led, asset-based community development. Driehaus is a member of the Price Hill Civic Club and serves on the Board of Seton High School.
Driehaus' 31st House District includes western Cincinnati, Addyston, Cheviot, Cleves and North Bend. Steve, his wife, Lucienne, their two daughters Alex and Clare, and a son, Jack, live in Cincinnati.
