David Burke is a member of the Ohio Senate who has represented the 26th District since 2011. Formerly, he served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 2009 to 2011.

Career

Burke received his bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University and his master’s degree in Business Administration from Capital University. Burke has owned Dave's Pharmacy in Marysville, Ohio since 1997, and served on Marysville City Council from 2004 to 2008.

With incumbent Tony Core unable to run for another term, Burke was one of three Republicans who sought to replace him, along with Jack Reser and Cameron Wesselbeck. In the end, Burke won the nomination with 46.78% of the electorate, only 400 votes more than Reser.[1] He ran unopposed in the general election, ensuring him a seat at the Statehouse. In 2010, Burke again ran unopposed.

In the 129th General Assembly, Speaker of the House William G. Batchelder had named Burke as a member of the Republican majority caucus' Policy Committee.[2]

Ohio Senate

With Senator Karen Gillmor resigning from her seat, Burke had been named as a possible successor.[3][4] Up against ten others who were vying for the seat, Burke was seen as one of the favorites to obtain the seat.

Ultimately, it was announced by Tom Niehaus that Burke would indeed be appointed to fill the vacancy. He was sworn into office on July 13, 2011.

Initiatives and platforms

Now in his second term, Burke has stated that he plans to introduce legislation requiring a review of the state's behavioral health system in search of ways to improve services and reduce costs. "The current system is crumbling and fragmented," Rep. Burke said. "There is no transparency with regard to costs, and oftentimes there is no coordination of services. With numerous tragic events that have happened over the last few years that have involved behavioral health system issues, it is important that Ohio make a comprehensive review of the system." The legislation will ultimately also address the Medicaid supplements that are also influential in mental and behavioral health systems.

Burke also seeks to address prescription drug abuse, which would limit doctors' ability to "personally furnish" controlled substances, strengthen pain-clinic licensure, provide more consumer education and develop a formal "take-back program" so that unused drugs aren't abused by others or flushed down the drain. "This bill closes the loop-holes caused by rogue prescribers and pill-mill operations that kill four Ohioans a day," Burke said.[5] The legislation he sponsored on the issue passed the House in March 2011, and was signed by Governor John Kasich.[6]

Burke has been targeted recently by proponents of collective bargaining reform in radio ads due to the uncertainty of his stance on the issue.[7]

An opponent of the federal health care law, Burke has introduced legislation to block its implementation in Ohio. He has stated that it does nothing to address cost nor access.[8]
