Ice Miller LLP is pleased to welcome Jessica Voltolini as a senior counsel and legislative director in the Firm’s Public Affairs Group.

Prior to joining Ice Miller, Jessica served a deputy legislative liaison for the Office of Ohio Governor John R. Kasich. In this role, she was the administration’s advocate regarding early childhood education, K-12 education, higher education and workforce development. She served as a liaison between the Governor’s education policy team, cabinet directors and the Ohio general assembly.

Jessica previously served as in-house counsel for the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority and as the legislative and policy director for the Ohio Department of Education.
