Career
Burke received his bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University and his master’s degree in Business Administration from Capital University. Burke has owned Dave's Pharmacy in Marysville, Ohio since 1997, and served on Marysville City Council from 2004 to 2008.
With incumbent Tony Core unable to run for another term, Burke was one of three Republicans who sought to replace him, along with Jack Reser and Cameron Wesselbeck. Burke won the nomination with 46.78% of the electorate, only 400 votes more than Reser.[1] He was unopposed in the general election, and again in 2010.
In the 129th General Assembly, Speaker of the House William G. Batchelder had named Burke as a member of the Republican majority caucus' Policy Committee.[2]
Ohio Senate
With Senator Karen Gillmor resigning from her seat, Burke had been named as a possible successor.[3][4] Up against ten others who were vying for the seat, Burke was seen as one of the favorites to obtain the seat. Tom Niehaus announced that Burke would be appointed to fill the vacancy, and he was sworn into office on July 13, 2011.
