Larry Householder is a former Republican Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for orchestrating the largest bribery scheme in Ohio history. In 2023, a federal jury convicted him of racketeering conspiracy for soliciting nearly $60 million from FirstEnergy Corp. to secure his speakership and pass House Bill 6, a $1 billion nuclear plant bailout. He used the funds to recruit loyal candidates, pay personal debts, and settle lawsuits. Additionally, Householder faces 10 pending state felony charges, including theft in office and money laundering, for allegedly misusing campaign funds for his federal criminal defense.
