Checked against the record · Ohio 9th District 2026

Did Derek Merrin win about 20 legislative victories?

Matches stated direction. Nine of the 40 House bills he sponsored became law, and Ohio doesn't publish the amendments he carried, so the rest of the count can't be checked.

Derek Merrin

Record: how many legislative wins

Matches stated direction

What they say

His campaign says he captured about twenty legislative victories from sponsored bills and amendments.

“Derek captured about 20 legislative victories from sponsored bills and amendments that are making Ohioans lives better.”

What the record shows

Across the four General Assemblies he served, the legislature records him as the sponsor of forty House Bills, of which nine became law: three in the 132nd, four in the 133rd, two in the 134th and none in the 135th. Two of the nine, the technical tax corrections bill and the Insurance Code Correction Act, his campaign does not claim.

Limit: Nine enacted bills is what the sponsorship record can show, and the claim counts amendments as well as bills. Ohio publishes no list of the amendments a member carried, so the remainder of the figure can be neither confirmed nor contradicted here, and the nine is a floor rather than a total.
