Campaign manager Nick Buis released the following statement today:
“Polls will go up and down over the next nine months, but it is clear that Ohioans are responding to Ed FitzGerald because he does not believe the daily financial anxiety Ohio’s families have endured under John Kasich should be the new normal. As Governor and Lt. Governor, Ed and Sharen will ensure all Ohio’s families see their hard work pay off.”
Today marks the two year anniversary of the day Attorney General Mike DeWine made national headlines by endorsing former Senator Rick Santorum for president in the 2012 Republican primary. The endorsement symbolized DeWine’s embrace of Santorum’s outdated and sometimes bizarre views of women—a vision that DeWine has enthusiastically pursued in the courtroom as Attorney General, using Ohioans’ taxpayer funds.
For the second time in two weeks, Governor Kasich dodged the question of where he stands on right-to-work yesterday saying, “It’s fair for you to ask. It’s also fair for me to say I don’t live in the future.” In late January, the Governor stated that right-to-work was “not on my agenda.” It’s clear that the Governor has not changed his anti-union philosophy on right-to-work.
Today, it was revealed in The Cincinnati Enquirer that despite promises made months ago, the Attorney General has failed to reduce access or make other security enhancements to his facial recognition software, which allows government officials to compare photos of Ohioans to a database of all Ohio driver’s license photos.
Today, David Pepper, Democratic Candidate for Ohio Attorney General, announced his concrete plan to end the cycle of pay-to-play in how the Attorney General’s office awards certain special counsel and other contracts.
