On November 7, 2017, Ohio became the sixth state to pass Marsy’s Law joining California, Illinois, Montana, North & South Dakota.

Marsy’s Law for Ohio was endorsed by more than 375 elected officials including Governor John Kasich, Attorney General Mike DeWine, State Auditor Dave Yost, 16 county prosecutors, nearly two dozen county sheriffs, and state lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.

As State Director, I was honored to be leading a coalition of victims, advocates, and volunteers who worked tirelessly to see the approval of an amendment to Ohio’s Constitution that ensures equal rights for victims of crime.

Along with the entire Marsy’s Law for Ohio team, I am thankful to the many legislators, law enforcement, advocates and, most importantly, victims of crimes who helped in this effort.

I hope you’ll consider getting involved with efforts beyond Ohio to continue the fight for stronger crime victims’ rights across the country.

Best,
Trevor Vessels
State Director
