The Wood County Republican Womenʼs Club recently held a dinner banquet with guest speaker Jane Timken, former chair of the Ohio Republican Party.

A Cincinnati native and graduate of Harvard University, Mrs. Timken earned a law degree from American University in Washington D.C. She worked with a private law firm and as a magistrate for the Stark County Common Pleas Court.

Under Mrs. Timkenʼs leadership of the state party, Donald Trump won Ohio by 8 percentage points in 2020.

She is now a candidate for U.S. Senate. She and her husband Tim, the former chief executive of Timken Steel, have two children and live in Canton.

Beverly Hirzel, president of the womenʼs club, said the group has been active this past year serving veterans and assisting local residents in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
