This week Governor-elect Mike DeWine named his running mate and Lt. Governor-elect Jon Husted to serve as head of InnovateOhio.

The mission of the newly-created InnovateOhio is “to look at state government from the point of view of consumers in order to create efficiencies, reduce costs, and improve the interactions Ohioans have with state services.”

According to the administration’s news release: “As part of his portfolio, the Lt. Governor will also take a leadership role in the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, which coordinates the workforce development efforts of 16 cabinet offices. He will also work closely with the Directors of the Departments of Administrative Services, Development Services, and Higher Education on issues impacting workforce development and economic development.”
