Steve Hawkins

 I was raised on a farm in Brown County and that background set my future in attending The Ohio State University, majoring in Animal Science and Agricultural Education. I began employment with the Clermont Soil and Water Conservation District as their District Administrator then was hired by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Soil and Water Conservation as a Program Specialist. Through my work experience as an adviser to more than half of the soil and water conservation districts in the State and trainer of SWCD supervisors I know all aspects of the position relating to supervisor responsibilities. Having worked at the area and state levels I know their funding structure and applicable laws they operate under.

​​I have gone to Washington D. C. with soil and water conservation supervisors representing Ohio’s input on Farm Bill programs. I developed the funding formula for funding soil and water conservation districts in Ohio. I have met with county commissioners throughout Ohio seeking funding for soil and water conservation districts. I have attended more that 2,000 SWCD board meetings as an advisor to soil and water conservation district boards.
​
I have been a  member of the Knights of Columbus, the Pickaway County Juvenile Court Advisory Committee, the Pickaway Catholic Mens Club, and the Circleville Girls Softball Board. I am Past President of the Parent Teachers Organization for Nicholas Drive Elementary and Past Member of the Soil and Water Conservation Society. I have served on many Ohio Federation and Soil and Water Conservation committees. I have been a Circleville Youth Soccer and Girls Softball Coach.
Steve has been married to Sharon for 40 years and have three daughters Bethany, Andrea and Jennifer

Wesley Ebenhack

I grew up and continue to live on my family farm in Southern Pickaway County. Always having a love for the farm along with my passion for plants and the outdoors helped me to decided to start taking over the farm. After four years, I have a hay growing operation and produce farm that consists of several acres of blackberries, black raspberries, strawberries, peaches, apples, pumpkins and cut-flowers.

I am a current member of the Circleville Sunrise Rotary Club, and a Pickaway County Farm Bureau Board Member. 
​
I have seen how individuals make mistakes and how bad practices have harmed the environment and how conservation practices and other less harming practices have helped improve our impact on the environment. I would like to help educate individuals with the hopes to change their way of thinking so they take on more conservative practices. 
​
If elected, I will show how I care about our environment and utilize the knowledge and skills that I have acquired from other business operations and running a farm.
