Early life and business career

Taylor was born in 1961.[1] She attended the Springfield Township school system.[1] She attended the University of Akron, obtaining a Bachelor degree in Accounting and Master's degree in Taxation.[1] Becoming a Certified Public Accountant, she worked for Deloitte and Touche and Bober, Markey, Fedorovich & Company in Akron.[1]

Political career

Taylor was first elected to the city council in Green,[1] eventually being elected to the Ohio General Assembly to represent the 43rd district. In 2006, she was elected to serve as Ohio State Auditor,[1] where she defeated Democratic candidate Barbara Sykes. Taylor, who succeeded fellow Republican Betty Montgomery as State Auditor, took office in January 2007. She was the only Republican in Ohio to be elected to a statewide non-judicial office during the 2006 election.

Lieutenant Governor

On January 14, 2010, she was announced as John Kasich's choice as Lieutenant Governor and running mate for Governor of Ohio in the 2010 Election.[2]

On November 2, 2010, Kasich defeated incumbent Governor Ted Strickland (D). Thus Taylor became the Lieutenant Governor on January 10, 2011.

Ambition for higher office

Taylor has been reportedly interested in seeking higher office, including running for the U.S. Senate.[3]

Family

She is married with two sons.[1]
