Taylor was first elected to the GreenCity Council,[3] eventually being elected to the Ohio General Assembly to represent the 43rd district. In 2006, she was elected to serve as Ohio State Auditor,[3] where she defeated Democratic candidate Barbara Sykes. Taylor succeeded fellow Republican Betty Montgomery as state auditor in January 2007. She was the only Republican in Ohio to be elected to a statewide non-judicial office during the 2006 election.
On January 14, 2010, she was announced as John Kasich's choice as lieutenant gubernatorial running mate in the 2010 election.[4]
On November 2, 2010, Kasich defeated incumbent Governor Ted Strickland (D). Thus Taylor became the lieutenant governor on January 10, 2011. She was named as Director of the Ohio Department of Insurance the same day.[5]
Kasich and Taylor were re-elected in November 2014.
In 2011, it was reported that she on several occasions used the state airplane to run "personal errands." Governor Kasich stated he requested Taylor to refund the money. Taylor stated that she had already refunded the money, even though the plane was only used for official business.[6]
An analysis by USA Today's Cincinnati branch indicated unusually high turnover among her staff during her tenure as Lieutenant Governor.[7]
On February 23, 2017 she formed a campaign committee to raise money and campaign in the 2018 Ohio gubernatorial election.[8] She was endorsed by U.S. Senator Ted Cruz in April 2018.[9] Taylor's campaign hired Axiom Strategies, a consulting firm, with close ties to Cruz.[9] On May 8, 2018, Taylor lost the Republican Primary to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, garnering 40.2% of the vote compared to DeWine's 59.8% of the vote.
Familyedit
She is married to Donzell (Don) Taylor and has two sons, Joe (b. circa 1991) and Michael (b. circa 1994) and the family resides in Green.[2][10] In 2017 she revealed that both her children have been struggling with opioid addiction.[10]
