Representative Steve Driehaus was sworn in on January 6, 2009, as the Member of Congress for Ohios First District. He sits on the House Financial Services and Oversight and Government Reform Committees, and he has begun work to improve the First Districts aging infrastructure, to bring sensible ideas to the countrys mortgage crisis, and to reverse the nations economic decline.

Prior to his service in Congress, Steve served eight years in the Ohio House of Representatives. He was chosen by his peers to serve as House Minority Whip in 2005 and took a leadership role on issues such as election law and redistricting reform.

A fiscal conservative, Steve was the sponsor of legislation that would force a review of the billions of dollars that Ohio foregoes in "tax expenditures." He served on the Finance and Appropriations, Insurance, Public Utilities and State Government and Elections committees in the State House. In addition, Steve served on the Governors Foreclosure Prevention Task Force and the Clean Ohio Council. He was named legislative Rookie of the Year by The Cincinnati Enquirer during his first term, and was named Legislator of the Year by both the Ohio Association of Elections Officials and the ARC of Ohio in 2007.

Steve earned a political science degree from Miami University (OH) and a masters degree in public affairs from Indiana University. He served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal working with village groups and local schools to promote sustainable environmental practices.

Steve directed the Community Building Institute, a collaborative effort of Xavier University and the United Way and Community Chest that promotes citizen-led, asset-based community development.

Discussions of Leadership is sponsored by the Murray and Agnes Seasongood Good Government Foundation.
