Niraj J. Antani (born February 26, 1991) is the Representative of the 42nd district of the Ohio House of Representatives. He is a conservative Republican.

Ohio House of Representatives

At 25 years old, Antani is the youngest current representative of the state House of Representatives, one of the youngest in Ohio, and the first representative born in the 1990s.^[1] When Representative Terry Blair unexpectedly died after winning the 2014 primary election for a fourth term, Antani was chosen by the Montgomery County Republican party to replace Blair on the ballot.

Antani graduated from Ohio State University with a Bachelor's in Political Science.^[2]

His appointment to the ballot and eventual victory in the GOP heavy district brought much notoriety due to his youth and his status as the first Indian-American elected to the Ohio House of Representatives.

Antani won the general election 65% to 35% over Democrat Patrick Merris.^[3] Antani was sworn in to complete the remainder of Blair's term on December 2, 2014.^[4]
