Ohio House of Representatives
When W. Carlton Weddington was indicted in a bribery scandal in early 2012, he resigned his seat, forcing House Democrats to appoint his successor. It was soon after announced that Boyce would be the appointee, chosen over a number of applicants.
Boyce was sworn into office on May 6, 2012, and currently serves on the committees of Commerce, Labor, and Technology; Financial Institutions, Housing and Urban Development; and the Health and Aging Committee.
In 2012, Boyce won his first full term in the House with 85.84% of the vote over Republican Seth Golding.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio and/or house:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Wearing overalls on weekdays, painting somebody else’s house to earn money? You’re working class. Wearing overalls at weekends, painting your own house to save money? You’re middle class.”
—Lawrence Sutton, British prizewinner in competition in Sunday Correspondent (London)
