Biographical History
Joyce Marie Beatty (née Birdsong, born March 12, 1951) is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 3rd congressional district since 2013. She is a member of the Democratic Party.
Born in Dayton, Ohio, Beatty has a B.A. in speech from Central State University, an M.S. in counseling psychology from Wright State University, and has studied at the doctoral level at the University of Cincinnati. Beatty worked as a professor at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, as a businesswoman, and as Health and Human Services Director for Montgomery County, Ohio. She was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 1999 to 2008, representing the 27th district; during her tenure, she served for a time as minority leader.
In 2012, Beatty ran for the newly redrawn Ohio's 3rd congressional district, based in the City of Columbus, and won the Democratic primary by defeating former U.S. Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy. Beatty went on to win the general election that November and has won reelection four further times.
