James Kirk Schuring[1] (September 17, 1952 – November 22, 2024) was an American politician of the Republican Party from the state of Ohio. He was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 1993 to 2002, and from 2011 to 2018. Schuring also served in the Ohio Senate from 2003 to 2010, before returning in 2018 and serving there until his death.
In 2018, Schuring was interim Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, following the resignation of Speaker Cliff Rosenberger.[2][3] Rosenberger resigned amid revelations he was under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[4] He was also the Republican nominee for Ohio's 16th congressional district in the 2008 election.
