Richard Nero (born April 5, 1971) is a former Republican member of the Ohio House of Representatives, who represented the 42nd District briefly in 2008.

Life and career[]

Nero is a graduate of Kent State University, and has worked for Oracle, which is a computer software company. He also has worked in the past for Cleveland State University. He is married with two children.[1]

Ohio House of Representatives[]

Former Ohio House Representative John Widowfield resigned his seat in 2008, allowing House Republicans to name a replacement through appointment. Nero sought the seat, and was named the replacement.[2] He was sworn into office on June 12, 2008.

With the seat up for election in 2008, Nero had to run for election to a full term to retain the seat. However, with the year favoring Democrats, and with Barack Obama topping the ballot, Nero was defeated by Mike Moran, a Democrat. The final tally was 55.87% to 44.13%.[3]

Nero spent six months in the Ohio House. He has since returned to the private sector.
