Timeline
Bill Harris (September 1, 1934 – November 27, 2017) was a Republican politician, who served in the Ohio General Assembly, notably as President of the Ohio Senate from 2005 to 2010.
Originally from Tennessee, Harris earned his B.A. in Secondary Education from the University of Arizona.
A former U.S. Marine, Harris served in the Korean War as a machine gunner and a platoon commander.
After Korea he attended the US Army Counterintelligence School, and then served the remainder of his 23-year career with the USMC as an intelligence and counterintelligence officer, serving two tours of duty in Vietnam.
Following his time in the military, Harris moved to Ashland, Ohio, where he began a career as an automotive dealer.
He would own one of the largest Chevrolet and General Motors dealership networks in Northern Ohio.
In 1995, Harris sought an open seat in the Ohio House of Representatives in a Republican district.
He won easily, and began his first term on January 3, 1995.
He won reelection in 1996.
By 1997, Harris was serving as majority whip of the House.
He won reelection in 1998.
While Harris was seen as a potential Speaker of the House in 2000, a vacant seat in the Ohio Senate changed his political future.

Harris was appointed to the seat.
He was seated in the upper chamber on August 15, 2000, and resigned from his House seat on the same day.
Harris won a full term to the Senate in 2000, facing minimal opposition, and served as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of the more powerful chairmanships in the legislature.
In late 2004, ongoing disputes between Senators Randy Gardner and Jeff Jacobson, who were both vying to be the next President of the Senate, left President Doug White's successor unnamed.
Both dropped out of the running, leaving darkhorse candidate Harris to take the top position in the Senate in 2005.
He served in the capacity for three General Assemblies, or six years.
Harris easily won a second term in 2006.
By 2010, Harris was term limited, and after fifteen years, left the legislature.
He was succeeded in the Senate by Kris Jordan, and as President of the Senate by Tom Niehaus.
