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.
