7: Christina Hagan, House of Representatives, Ohio
Growing up on her family’s farm with three older brothers, the young Christina Hagan witnessed the daily rewards and struggles of service-oriented hard-work. In the apartment above her family’s small heating and plumbing business, Christina was raised in an entrepreneurial atmosphere where everyone is expected to chip in with a good attitude to serve others.
Whether helping on service calls, in the office or on the farm, Christina apprenticed herself to her parents who emulated the values that make Northeastern Ohio so strong: faith, family and hard work.
In 2011, while still waiting tables at two restaurants, coaching young women at her alma mater and finishing her degree, the 22-year-old was chosen to serve the 50th House District in Ohio. Representative Hagan became the youngest female ever to serve in the Ohio House of Representatives. Hagan proves time and again that she is the people’s choice, increasing her margin of victory from 20 points in 2012, to 35 in 2014, and by 46 points in her most recent landslide victory—outperforming every federal and state candidate in her district including President Trump and Congressman Renacci. The people have spoken.
After her initial election, Representative Hagan graduated with a degree in Business from Malone University to the cheers of her loving family, as she became the first in her family to obtain a college degree.
In 2016, national recognition for Hagan’s work started pouring in. First, Hagan was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 for her legislative work on restoring Ohio’s reputation as a national economic leader by working to create a better business climate to sustain a strong private sector job market. She was also asked to serve as an Ohio TV and radio surrogate on the successful presidential campaign of President Donald J. Trump who carried her state by over 8% and county by over 17%.
8: Mike Gibbons, Senate, Ohio
Mike Gibbons was born in Cleveland and grew up in Parma, Ohio. His father, Gene Gibbons, was a high school teacher and wrestling coach, and Mike learned the value of hard work at an early age. He played football at St. Ignatius High School and Kenyon College, and went to work early – first with a paper route, then as a landscaper, later on construction crews and the factory floor.
Mike Gibbons earned degrees in political science and economics from Kenyon. He continued to work his way through school, earning a higher degree in management from Case Western and put himself through law school at night, earning his JD from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. And then he entered the business world. Starting at the bottom rung, he became a partner at age 27 at McDonald & Company in Cleveland and later became President and Chief Executive Officer of Underwood Nehaus & Company at the age of 35.
In 1989, he set out on his own and launched his own company. That company became Brown Gibbons Lang & Company, one of the most widely-respected national middle-market investment banks in the country. In an industry dominated by big New York and Chicago firms, BGL used its Ohio roots to help dozens of homegrown Ohio companies expand and add jobs, providing strategic and financial advice and much-needed capital.
Business isn’t the only thing that defines Mike Gibbons. He raised his five children in Fairview Park, coached youth sports, and still serves as the color commentator for Catholic High School Game of the Week football games. He is active in the Cleveland non-profit community, serving on the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee for Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, the Visiting Committee for Case Western Reserve University Weatherhead School of Management, and the Board of Visitors for the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. He has previously served as Vice Chair Greater Cleveland Sport Commission, and on the Board of Trustees for Ohio-Israel Chamber of Commerce, the Finance Advisory Board for the University of Akron, College of Business, the Board of Directors for North Coast Professional Sports LLC, the Board of Trustees of Magnificat and St. Ignatius High School, and the Board of Trustees of the Great Lakes Theater Festival.
