Four months into the governorship, Ohio’s First Lady Fran DeWine says she and Governor Mike DeWine are feeling settled.
“Mike was walking through the other day and he said, ‘You know, this really feels like home. It does’,” DeWine said.
The Governor’s Mansion in Bexley has been home to 10 Ohio governors. It has seen dignitaries and celebrities like John F. Kennedy, John Glenn, Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, the Bush Family and Jesse Jackson grace the mansion grounds. The home’s rich history is now home to Ohio’s 70th Governor for the next four years. But unlike previous families, the DeWines are quite unique when it comes to family numbers.
They have eight children and 24 grandchildren.
