Deadline to drop-off your ballot in person (polls open from 6:30a.m to 7:30p.m.) This 2014 Election Guide was compiled to help provide you with guidance on which candidates major trade associations and business groups endorsed for the November 4 general election or have been favorably recognized by an organization. Some candidates can claim to be pro-business, but only those individuals with a good track record or thoroughly screened have earned an endorsement by state and national associations that represent the business community. The organizations and offices used to compile this information include: United States Chamber of Commerce (USCC), Ohio Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and OhioBusinessVotes.org, National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFB), Ohio Restaurant Association (ORA), Ohio Society of CPAs (CPA), Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA), Ohio Secretary of State (SOS), Ohio Republican Party (ORP), and the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP). All of the associations mentioned above choose to endorse or not to endorse for various reasons. You will note on the pages following that there are candidates all associations have endorsed, some that most have endorsed and others that these associations simply agree to disagree on who the best person is for the job. While the associations mentioned typically do not endorse candidates for the court of appeals we wanted to make sure you have the information about each candidate to make an informed decision when voting. Please contact the respective association if you would like to know more about their endorsement process. *denotes incumbent Balance of Power Republicans and Democrats are trying to pick up as many seats as possible to tip the balance of power at the national and state level.

  • 2018 Post-General Election Update
    2018 post-general election update November 7, 2018 On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Ohioans cast ballots in the 2018 general election. For the first time since 2006, five statewide elected offices were up for election without an incumbent running in the 2018 general election. Federal offices, including all Ohio U.S. Representatives seats and one U.S. Senate seat, two Ohio Supreme Court seats, all seats in the Ohio House of Representatives and 17 Ohio Senate seats were on the ballot. Many counties in Ohio and around the country reported record- breaking early voter turnout. Nearly 1.5 million ballots were requested by mail and in person, and an estimated 1.3 million had been cast as of the close of early voting on November 5, 2018. Here is Bricker & Eckler’s overview of the 2018 general election results and details on races of particular interest. STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES Issue 1: This proposed constitutional amendment was filed as the “Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment.” If adopted, the amendment would have, among other things, required reductions in sentencing in certain situations, mandated that certain criminal offenses or uses of any drugs, such as fentanyl and heroin, can only be classified as a misdemeanor, and prohibited jail time as a sentence for obtaining, possessing or using such drugs until an individual’s third offense within 24 months. Issue 1 was defeated by 63.41 percent. The Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign led the way in support of the proposed constitutional amendment. Supporters of Issue 1 were financially supported by Open Society Policy Center, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Open Philanthropy Project Action Fund.

    GOVERNMENTAL POLICY GROUP, INC. 17 SOUTH HIGH STREET – SUITE 245 COLUMBUS, OHIO 43215-3413 PHONE: 614-461-9335 FAX: 614-461-9336 Ohio Speech and Hearing Governmental Affairs Coalition Legislative Activities Report November 2018 All eyes this month turned to the 2018 General Election. Republicans were able to defend against strong Democrat opponents to retain control of all non-judicial statewide offices. At the top of the ticket, Mike DeWine defeated Democrat Richard Cordray by a 51-46% margin. GAC will be reaching out to the DeWine Transition Team to discuss policy concerns and cabinet director recommendations. The Governor-elect has named Laurel Dawson as his lead on cabinet appointments. Ms. Dawson was US Senator DeWine’s chief of staff. Michael Hall, who currently oversees AG DeWine’s special counsel section, will be working on policy issues through the transition. The inauguration takes place on January 14, 2019 and the deadline for the first budget proposal from the new DeWine administration is due nearly two months later in mid- March. In other statewide races, current Republican State Auditor Dave Yost defeated former U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach for attorney general. Senator Frank LaRose defeated Democrat State Rep. Kathleen Clyde to become secretary of state. In the race for state auditor, Rep. Keith Faber defeated Democrat Zack Space. In the state treasurer’s race, Rep. Robert Sprague held off Democrat Rob Richardson. While the ending margins were comfortable, none of the races were blowouts, with each separated by between about four and eight percentage points. Democrats were successful in making gains on the state’s highest court, winning both Ohio Supreme Court seats up for grabs this cycle.

  • Members of the Energy Mandates Study Committee Ohio Statehouse
    Members of the Energy Mandates Study Committee Ohio Statehouse 1 Capitol Square Columbus, Ohio, 43215 To the Members of the Energy Mandates Study Committee, We write to offer our observations related to the Energy Mandates Study Committee (EMSC), charged by Senate Bill 310 of the 130th General Assembly to report its findings on the future of Ohio’s renewable energy and energy efficiency standards. The EMSC held eight public hearings this year and heard from many energy stakeholders and constituents from across Ohio about our energy future. We appreciate the deliberative process the EMSC took to gather feedback from all interested parties, and for the time they dedicated to considering the charges laid out in SB 310. The Ohio Senate Democratic Caucus remains committed to ensuring a diverse energy portfolio in Ohio, and we believe that maintaining clean energy standards is essential to fulfilling that goal. Expert testimony presented in the EMSC convinced us that Ohio’s clean energy policies enacted by Senate Bill 221 were beneficial to the environment, the economy, and to our consumers—continuing these policies will allow us to generate savings for electric ratepayers, establish and protect thousands of jobs within our energy sector, and address growing environmental and public health concerns. In addition to testimony presented to the EMSC, the recent 111(d) Clean Power rules initiated by the U.S EPA make an even stronger case for reinstating Ohio’s energy standards. According to the Administration, Ohio has already reduced its power sector carbon pollution by 21 percent since 2008—the year that SB 221 was enacted.

  • January 18, 2017 Governor John Kasich Riffe Center, 30Th Floor 77
    January 18, 2017 Governor John Kasich Riffe Center, 30th Floor 77 South High St. Columbus, OH 43215 CC: County Commissioners Association of Ohio 209 E State St. Columbus, OH 43215 House Finance Chairman Ryan Smith Senate Finance Chairman Scott Oelslager Dear Governor Kasich, We write as a delegation to express our serious concerns about the impending deadline by which the state must remedy its Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCO) tax formulation. It is our understanding that you plan to include a fix to this issue in this year’s upcoming biennial budget. On behalf of all our local communities and everyone they serve, we strongly urge you to find a workable solution that fully preserves the revenue local governments and public transit systems currently receive from the MCO tax. As you well know, Ohio’s current MCO tax is out of compliance with current policy from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). A 2014 letter from the Centers clarified that the MCO tax must be broad- based, uniform and hold no payer harmless from the impact of the tax. According to CMS, our state’s tax still does not meet the broad-based requirement because the fact that it is embedded into the larger sales tax base does not exempt it from the obligation to apply to non-Medicaid providers. Should Ohio fail to fix its formula by June 30, 2017, we risk losing not only critical state matching funds, but a fundamental revenue stream that local governments and transportation systems cannot do without. Other states previously in violation of this rule have found CMS-approved solutions to the problem, including broadening the MCO tax base while lowering other taxes to offset the impact, and changing the scope of distribution for MCO tax funds while implementing new financing arrangements for matching funds.

  • Ohio General Election Results Capitol Consulting Group
    November 2018 Ohio General Election Results Capitol Consulting Group Introduction and Analysis Nationally, Democrats were able to flip a handful of Gubernatorial seats and take control of the United States House; Republicans were able to hang on in a couple closely watched Governors’ races and did gain two seats in the United States Senate. In Ohio though, Republicans performed much better than expected. Overall, if there was a ‘blue wave’, it certainly missed the Buckeye State. Voter turnout stands at 54.3%, which is higher than recent high-profile Ohio midterms: in 2006, turnout was 53.3% and in 2010 the turnout was 49.2%. Gubernatorial Race Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine (R) coasted to victory against former Consumer Finance Protection Bureau Chief Richard Cordray (D). Going into Election Day, Cordray held a modest lead in most polls and forecasters including FiveThirtyEight and Sabato’s Crystal Ball rated the seat as ‘lean Democratic’. However, once results started pouring in, DeWine surged ahead and Cordray never caught up. DeWine won by nearly 200,000 votes (4%); this is larger margin than the Governor’s race in 2010, where John Kasich (R) defeated incumbent Democrat Ted Strickland by a margin of just 2%. DeWine / Husted (R) Cordray / Sutton (D) 50.7% 46.5% 2,187,619 2,005,627 Predictably, Cordray carried counties with large, urban centers (Lucas, Franklin, Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Summit) and also carried Lorain and Athens Counties. Cordray also performed well in the Mahoning Valley, which is a region that President Trump flipped in 2016. DeWine carried 79 counties, including Montgomery, Delaware, and Clark Counties and all of Appalachia Ohio (except Athens County).
