Susan Manchester is an American politician who has served as a member of the Ohio Senate, representing the 12th district since 2025.

She worked in Washington, D.C. for Congressman Jim Jordan, where she focused on policies such as agriculture, health care, business and education.

Upon returning to Ohio in 2016, Manchester worked as a field representative for the Trump campaign.

Notable bills she had signed into law include the Beginning Farmer Tax Credit Program, which helps assist one generation of farmers to the next as agricultural assets are rented and sold and ultimately fosters a strong agricultural presence in the state.

She also closed a dangerous loophole in Ohio law by expanding the Ohio Revised Code to criminalize the use or manipulation of a controlled substance addiction as a method of human trafficking.
