Ohio House of Representatives
Long-serving state representative Nan Baker was term-limited in 2016 after four terms, leaving a potentially competitive district open. With Greenspan representing exactly the same territory on the county council, he opted to seek to the Republican nomination for the seat. Greenspan successfully won his election in 2016 defeating Democrat Tommy Greene and was re-elected in 2018 by defeating Democrat Cassimir Svigelj [1]
