Stivers said that some of the issues he is working include homelessness, health insurance, small businesses and intellectual property, and a resolution to the water billing issues between the City of Wilmington and ODNR/Army Corps of Engineers and Caesar Creek Lake.
Stivers said he would love to hear from his constituents, so please keep in in touch with issues that are important to all of us.
