Attracting high-paying jobs, rebuilding schools, and investing in the state's security are all in a day's work for the Office of the Governor of Ohio. The office serves as the top executive branch in the state and focuses on developing a variety of policy initiatives, including job creation, science and technology, education, seniors, the environment, and security. The Governor reviews and signs bills sent by the Ohio House and Senate and presides over a number of state agencies dedicated to such issues as agriculture, drug addiction services, and insurance. Democrat Ted Strickland became the 68th Governor of the state of Ohio in 2007.
