Ginter pursued biblical studies at
Nazarene Bible College and later received a bachelor's degree in the discipline from
Mount Vernon Nazarene University. He was a pastor at numerous churches in Ohio before and during his political career. In 2014, Ginter replaced former representative
Craig Newbold as the Republican candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives' 5th district. Ginter went on to defeat incumbent Democrat
Nick Barborak in the 2014 general election with 59% of the vote. He was reelected in
2016,
2018, and
2020 before being term-limited. Ginter is a member of the Ohio Farm Bureau,
National Rifle Association of America, Buckeye Firearms Association, Salem Chamber of Commerce, an associate member of the Columbiana County Township Association, a member of the Columbiana County Republican Party Central Committee, and served as an appointed member of the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood. In 2019, Ginter co-sponsored legislation that would ban
abortion in Ohio and criminalize what they called "abortion murder". Doctors who performed abortions in cases of
ectopic pregnancy and other life-threatening conditions would be exempt from prosecution only if they "[took] all possible steps to preserve the life of the unborn child, while preserving the life of the woman. Such steps include, if applicable, attempting to re-implant an ectopic pregnancy into the woman's uterus". Reimplantation of an ectopic pregnancy is not a recognized or medically feasible procedure. In 2024, Ginter was elected as a commissioner of
Columbiana County, Ohio, and was sworn in later that year. ==References==
