Ohio House of Representatives
With incumbent Larry Wolpert unable to run again due to term limits, Grossman entered the race to replace him, and was endorsed by Wolpert.[1] Facing no opposition in the primary, Grossman went on to run against Democrat Keith Goldhardt in the general election. She went on to defeat Goldhardt by about 11,000 votes.[2]
When Kris Jordan stepped down as assistant minority whip midway through 2009 to run for the state Senate, Grossman was appointed to the position.
For the 2010 election, Grossman was up for reelection against Democrat Steven Harp as well as a Libertarian candidate. She went on to beat Harp by 15,000 votes.[3] Subsequently, Republicans retook the House of Representatives' majority, and Grossman was tabbed to serve as assistant majority whip for the 129th General Assembly.[4] She also is serving as a member of the Economic and Small Business Development Committee; the Finance and Appropriations Committee and Transportation Subcommittee; the Rules and Reference Committee; and the State Government and Elections Committee; the Ohio Legislative Service Commission; and the Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission.
Grossman won a third term in 2012 with 56.07% of the vote over Democrat Traci Johnson. She won a fourth term in 2014 with nearly 64% of the vote.[5]
