Ukeme Awakessien Jeter is running for State Representative to serve House District 7 because she believes leadership is about service, results, and responsibility to community.
Five years ago, Ukeme made history as the first person of color elected to Upper Arlington City Council. Today, she serves as Mayor and Council President, leading with steady judgment and a commitment to collaboration. As an engineer, a lawyer, a working mom, and a proud immigrant, Ukeme brings both professional expertise and lived experience to the work of governing. She listens carefully, learns from the margins, and solves problems with discipline and care.
Ukeme is taking that proven local leadership to the Statehouse to fight for strong local government, real property tax relief, properly funded public schools, and communities where families can afford to live and grow.
If you believe Ohio needs leaders who govern with integrity and collaborate to get things done, stand with Ukeme Awakessien Jeter and become a founding donor today.
