He is a Republican. The district consists of Meigs County, as well as portions of Athens, Vinton and Washington counties. Life and careerEdwards was born and raised in Nelsonville, Ohio, where he graduated from Nelsonville-York High School and still resides today. He later attended nearby Ohio University on scholarship. Edwards is a licensed realtor.[1]{{Self-published source|date=June 2017}} His family has long roots in Nelsonville, where his uncle recently served as city manager. Ohio House of RepresentativesIn 2016, Representative Debbie Phillips was term-limited and ineligible to run for a fifth term.[2] A Democrat, Phillips had only faced one serious election in her four terms, in 2014, where she won by just over 100 votes. However, despite Athens County, the largest in the district, being considered reliably Democratic, Republicans had historically seen success in winning the district prior to Phillips' taking the seat.[3] Democrats nonetheless fielded Sarah Grace, a small-business owner from Athens who was a newcomer to politics and a liberal. Despite being considered the favorite, Edwards raised considerable money, albeit not without controversy.[4] In the end, in what was a very good year for Republicans, Edwards defeated Grace by a 58% to 42% margin, taking the seat.[5] Edwards is the first Republican to hold the seat since Jimmy Stewart held the seat from 2003 to 2008.[6] References1. ^{{cite web | title = Jay Edwards - About | url = http://www.jayedwardsohio.com/#about | accessdate = 2017-01-08 }} 2. ^{{cite web | title = Sarah Grace outraises Jay Edwards after trailing him prior to primary| url = http://www.thepostathens.com/article/2016/10/democrats-finance-more-than-republicans | accessdate = 2017-01-08 }} 3. ^{{cite web | title = Political parties contributed big-time in Ohio House race | url = http://www.athensnews.com/news/local/political-parties-contributed-big-time-in-ohio-house-race/article_3cd65218-c7a0-11e6-95e4-b36b69259c72.html | accessdate = 2017-01-08 }} 4. ^{{cite web | title = House Dems drop election complaint against Jay Edwards| url = http://www.athensnews.com/news/election/house-dems-drop-election-complaint-against-jay-edwards/article_897caf6e-c22c-11e6-ae81-f333691c5a03.html | accessdate = 2017-01-08 | first = David | last = DeWitt }} 5. ^{{cite web | title = Jay Edwards wins Ohio's 94th district | url = http://www.thepostathens.com/article/2016/11/jay-edwards-sarah-grace-ohio-house | accessdate = 2017-01-08 }} 6. ^{{cite web | title = Edwards takes Ohio’s 94th District seat - The New Political | url = http://thenewpolitical.com/edwards-takes-ohios-94th-district-seat/ | accessdate = 2017-01-08 }} External links
