Career
Hackett, a graduate of Columbia University where he played on the Columbia Lions football team,[1] served two terms as a Madison County Commissioner and is the founder and a former managing partner of Central Ohio Financial Mgt. Group, LLC.
With incumbent Chris Widener running for the Ohio Senate, Hackett, along with Craig Saunders, opted for the Republican nomination to replace him.[2] Ultimately, Hackett defeated Saunders with 53.34% of the electorate to move on to the general election.[3] He went on to defeat Democrat Connie Crockett in the general election with 61.39% of the vote, winning his first term in the legislature.[4] Hackett easily won reelection in 2010 against Aaron Kilbarger with 69.7% of the vote.[5] Along with his role in the Ohio Senate, Hackett is involved with the Madison County Hospital; Choctaw Lake Property Owners Association; Madison County Farmland Preservation Task Force; the Entrepreneurship Institute of Ohio; Watchdog of the Treasury and is currently a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).[6]
Currently, Hackett is serving on the committees of Financial Institutions, Housing, and Urban Development, Health and Aging, Insurance (as chairman) and its Subcommittee on Workers' Compensation, and Local Government. He also is a member of the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee; and the Unemployment Compensation Advisory Council.
A former county commissioner, Hackett said lawmakers want to do their best to help the local governments save costs and mitigate the financial hit. "Everyone knows these big cuts are coming," he said.
