Rep. Jennifer Gross, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, commented on legislative actions involving Governor Mike DeWine’s vetoes in a series of posts on July 21, 2025.

In her first post at 15:32 UTC, Gross wrote, "For a TRUE Conservative Ohio Republican, overriding a RINO governor is a very good day."

Later that afternoon at 16:00 UTC, she added context to the override effort: "We are only being given the opportunity to override 1 of Governor DeWines' 67 vetos. Yes, we needed to do more. Some members will not support stronger reform. Several are in MORE conservative districts than mine. We NEED true reform. I believe the people of our state must act."

A minute later at 16:01 UTC, Gross posted another message regarding potential future action by lawmakers: "We do still have the rest of the General Assembly to act on the remaining vetos."

Governor Mike DeWine has issued numerous vetoes during his tenure as governor of Ohio. Legislative overrides require significant support from both chambers and often reflect divisions within party lines over policy direction and reform efforts.

Gross's comments reflect ongoing debates within the Ohio Republican Party regarding what constitutes "true" conservatism and how aggressively to pursue reforms through legislative means.
