Personal details
Political party Democratic

James S. Zehner is a Democratic politician who formerly served in the Ohio House of Representatives. An educator from Yellow Springs, Ohio, Zehner won election to a Republican open seat in 1976, much due to a wealth of resources provided to him by Speaker of the House Vern Riffe. He was sworn into office on January 3, 1977. A top target for Republicans in 1978, Zehner went on to win a second term.[1] Zehner again won reelection in 1980. However, in 1982, his luck ran out when reapportionment made his district even more solidly Republican, and he lost to Bob Doyle.

Following his time in elected office, Zehner served in the local BMV in Greene County, until retiring in 2010. He currently owns and operates a local restaurant in Yellow Springs.[2]
