  • Chairman's Report
    2014-2015 Chairman’s Report A Bi-annual report summarizing the organization’s activities in 2014 and 2015. “At the root of everything that we’re trying to accomplish is the belief that America has a mission. We are a nation of freedom, living under God, believing all citizens must have the opportunity to grow, create wealth, and build a better life for those who follow. If we live up to these moral values, we can keep the American dream alive for our children and our grandchildren, and America will remain mankind’s best hope” — Ronald Reagan 1 2 A Message From the Chairman... Dear Fellow Republicans, It is a great time to be a Republican in Cuyahoga County! 2014 was an exciting and busy year as we worked to re- elect our incumbent statewide candidates and further develop our voter engagement efforts with the creation of the Advocacy Council. While the work is constant, it builds a foundation for continued Republican success, such as the 70% of Republican endorsed candidates that were elected to local office in 2015. In 2014, Ohio Governor John Kasich won Cuyahoga County in his gubernatorial re-election; this was the first time Cuyahoga County voted Republican since Senator George Voinovich’s 2004 re-election to the U.S. Senate. Cuyahoga County was a regular campaign stop for many of our incumbent Republican officeholders, including a rally for Governor Kasich with U.S. Senator Rob Portman and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. In the end, winning Cuyahoga County was the icing on the cake for Governor Kasich who won a historic 86 out of 88 Ohio counties.

    2014 POST-ELECTION ANALYSIS: OHIO TABLE OF CONTENTS STATE OVERVIEW 2 Registration Overview 3 Turnout Analysis 4 Absentee/Early Voting 4 Regional Analysis 5 Election Law Impacts 6 Exit Polling 6 GOVERNOR 11 Media Spending Analysis 13 Geographic Analysis 15 SECRETARY OF STATE 17 Media Spending Analysis 18 Geographic Analysis 21 STATE LEGISLATURE 22 State Senate 22 State House 23 Consequences 24 STATE OVERVIEW Going into 2014, Ohio was expected to be a major battleground in the election cycle, particularly in state elections, with a key gubernatorial race and several potentially competitive down-ballot constitutional matchups. The anticipated matchup between Republican incumbent Governor John Kasich and Democratic Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald was expected to be one of the most competitive gubernatorial races of 2014. Democrats also landed top-tier candidates for down- ballot statewide races; notably, state Senator Nina Turner and state Representative Connie Pillich launched bids for secretary of state and treasurer, respectively.1 Democrats were presented with fewer opportunities at the congressional and legislative level in 2014. The 2010 decennial redistricting process, which Republicans controlled, locked in safe districts for many Republican incumbents, leaving only a small number of competitive congressional and General Assembly districts.2 OH-14 and OH-06, represented by Republican incumbents David Joyce and Bill Johnson, respectively, are potentially competitive districts, but they did not attract significant competition

  • Ohio Women Running for Public Office | Baldwin Wallace University
    “BETTER THAN BRIDGE:” OHIO WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, 1872 -2016 (This manuscript was updated in January, 2018 and is a first attempt at presenting this data. Any mistakes are the fault of the author.) Barbara Palmer Department of Politics and Global Citizenship Center for Women and Politics of Ohio Baldwin Wallace University [email protected] An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists, September, 2017 1 “BETTER THAN BRIDGE:” OHIO WOMEN RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, 1872 - 20161 In 1922, the first election cycle after the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified guaranteeing women the right to vote, Florence Allen successfully ran for Ohio’s state supreme court, making her the first woman to ever be elected to any state high court. Women were also elected to the Ohio state legislature for the first time. Fourteen women ran and six won. Maude Comstock Waitt was one of the first two women elected to the senate and served until 1930, representing Cuyahoga County. According to Waitt, “Politics is a great game, better than bridge” (“Ladies Gallery – What They Said”). This paper will trace the history of women from Ohio running for president, US Congress, state legislature, state supreme court, and state-wide office, with data covering over 100 years, over 600 elected officials, and 50 election cycles. Ohio has a long history of women’s activism, including the temperance movement and women’s suffrage, beginning in the early 19th Century. Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to ever run for president in 1872, was born in Ohio, and is part of that tradition.
