Tim Ryan – U.S. Senate
Tim Ryan is a relentless advocate for Ohio’s working families. He’s running for U.S. Senate to cut workers in on the deal. Ohioans are working harder than ever, but they’re falling further behind. In the Senate, Tim will fight to raise wages, make healthcare more affordable, invest in education, rebuild our public infrastructure, and revitalize manufacturing so we can make things in Ohio again.
John Cranley – Governor; Teresa Fedor – Lt. Governor
The policies of the corrupt, one-party rule have failed Ohio’s middle class. Mike DeWine and the Republicans who have run our state for 32 years, their careers are synonymous with Ohio’s decline. My career is synonymous with Cincinnati’s comeback.
Nan Whaley – Governor; Cheryl Stephens – Lt. Governor
It’s time for a governor from the middle class, not another millionaire. It’s time for a mayor who’s been on the front lines of Ohio’s toughest challenges. It’s time for a little bit of Dayton toughness in Columbus.
Jeffrey A. Crossman – Attorney General
I’m running for Attorney General to bring fairness and transparency back. Your elected officials should work for everyday Ohioans, not corporate special interests. For too long, we’ve watched corruption and bad-faith politics lead to abandoned factories, higher healthcare costs, and billion-dollar scandals that working-class Ohioans have been left paying for. I hope you’ll join us in the fight to take back Ohio’s government for everyday Ohioans.
Taylor Sappington – Ohio Auditor
I’m running for Ohio Auditor of State in order to balance the books and catch the crooks. For too long, Ohioans have paid the price for the culture of corruption in Columbus, but together we can change that.
Chelsea Clark – Secretary of State
I’m running to be Ohio’s Secretary of State because our democracy is under attack. I will fight to make sure that we all have access to vote, that all votes are counted, and that our elections are safe and secure.
Scott Schertzer – Treasurer
My time in office has been focused on ‘small town values’ such as being invested in the community and understanding the needs of people who want opportunities to ‘get ahead.’ These are the values I will bring to Columbus, if I were to become state treasurer. You’re going to have a sure thing because I am going to watch every dollar spent, and I’m going to pinch every penny. And I’m also going to be on the lookout for corruption. I’m running for State Treasurer of Ohio to work for Ohioans like you.
Justice Jennifer Brunner – Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court
I’m running for Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court because justice matters for every Ohioan. Steady and principled leadership of the state’s highest court is essential to helping Ohioans realize justice in their everyday lives. The state’s constitution is the voice of its people. The Ohio Supreme Court is the constitution’s caretaker, a guardian to ensure people and their rights are protected.
Judge Terri Jamison – Associate Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court
Judge Jamison is the best person for this seat because she brings a variety of legal knowledge. The Court of Appeals is the court of last resort for many of our citizens. All appeals must be taken in this court unlike the Ohio Supreme Court. Equal access to justice includes access, diversity of the composition of the bench, and the opportunity to present your case to a fair, impartial panel. Judge Jamison is the right judge for justice.
Judge Marilyn Zayas – Associate Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court
I am grateful that Ohio voters entrusted me to serve as their Judge. Every day, in every case, I take my responsibility to do justice very seriously, and I am committed to ensuring that justice is administered with integrity, independence, and impartiality.
