Donofrio - Democrat Occupation: RETIRED - SUMMIT COUNTY FISCAL OFFICER Age: 66 Address: 67 Sand Run Rd, Akron, OH 44313 Website: not available Education: Ellet High School 1967 Training and Experience: over 34 years of county government public service; 23 years as Summit County Treasurer, 9 years as Summit County’s first Fiscal Office, Complete knowledge of operation Question 1: Given the current polarization at all levels of government, what can you do at the local level to promote civil discussions and consensus building? With over 30 years of experience as an elected official I would continue to bring people together to solve problems and create programs to assist citizens across our county. Too many politicians, Democrats and Republicans, spend more time criticizing each other rather than assisting the citizens who elected them. Question 2: Please identify the top 3 priorities/issues facing Summit County Council. We need financial stewardship, especially for our safety forces. We need to address the recent flooding issues that has affected Green, Stow, Bath Township and the county as a whole. We need collaboration: regionalism and consolidation in an effort to continue to save as much money as possible. Question 3: How should Summit County Council respond to the decrease in housing values? Because of the 2008 recession, housing markets and values plummeted nationwide. As the economy is improving, job growth is increasing and predatory lending is ending, the market will correct itself. Values increase when actual arms-length sales prices increase, which will ultimately drive up values for sales and tax purposes. Gary Hagen - Republican CANDIDATE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS Address: 30 Harcourt Dr, Akron, OH 44313 Sandra Kurt - Democrat Occupation: INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER Age: 53 Address: 140 Mayfield Ave, Akron, OH 44313 Website: http://kurtforcouncil.com Education: Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Iowa State University Training and Experience: Served as Akron Ward 8 Councilperson Jan 2010 - March 2011; Summit County Council: At-Large Representative: March 2011 - Present; Vice- President: Jan 2014 - Present; Chair of Public Works: March 2011 - Present; Vice-Chair of Finance: March 2011 - Present Question 1: Given the current polarization at all levels of government, what can you do at the local level to promote civil discussions and consensus building? It’s actually easier at the local level to build consensus across party lines. Constituents of every political stripe want action on issues like stormwater management and road maintenance. I have worked with Township Trustees who belong to the “opposing” party, placing progress above partisanship to get the job done. Question 2: Please identify the top 3 priorities/issues facing Summit County Council. 1) Economic development resulting in living-wage job opportunities and increased revenue; 2) Infrastructure maintenance and development including roads, bridges, water systems, sewer systems, and stormwater management; 3) Increasing collaboration among local governments resulting in improved effectiveness. Question 3: How should Summit County Council respond to the decrease in housing values? We must empower the Summit County Land Reutilization Corporation. The SCLRC works with cities to acquire vacant and abandoned properties and make them productive. The land may be sold to adjacent property owners to expand their properties. Or the land may remediate stormwater impact with reservoirs or rain gardens. Bill Roemer - Republican Occupation: RETIRED DIRECTOR OF SALES, AMERITECH (AT&T); SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, REVERE LOCAL SCHOOLS Age: 57 Address: 3616 Southern Rd, Richfield, OH 44286 Website: roemerforcouncil.com Education: Bachelor of Science - Accounting - Case Western Reserve(CWRU) Summa Cum Laude MBA - Finance - CWRU Certified Public Accountant Training and Experience: My business experience and financial aptitude are very beneficial and allow me to effectively serve the constituents. Question 1: Given the current polarization at all levels of government, what can you do at the local level to promote civil discussions and consensus building? What is most important is serving constituents. The first step is the creation of non gerrymandered districts. I proposed county council districts which kept communities whole and created fair and balanced areas but this was rejected. Additionally, consensus building is created by regularly meeting and communicating effectively across party lines. Question 2: Please identify the top 3 priorities/issues facing Summit County Council. The three most important issues are economic development and job creation, public safety and storm water control. Storm water issues impact constituents across Summit County. Public safety including the appropriate funding of the Summit County jail is imperative. Job creation is paramount and leads to high quality neighborhoods. Question 3: How should Summit County Council respond to the decrease in housing values? County Council has supported the creation of the Summit County Land Bank on which I worked before being elected. Through the Moving Ohio Forward program, numerous blighted residential properties have been removed. Enforcement of building codes and effective use of Block Grant dollars will also lead to higher quality neighborhoods.

  • Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020
    Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020 Summary of Races: The biggest story in Statehouse races as we approach Election Day is the recent charges that have been brought against Larry Householder. The criminal complaint brought against him alleges he took part in a $61 million racketeering scheme. As the case pends in federal court, many of the campaign funds that the House Republican Caucus rely on for financial support have been frozen and likely will not be able to be accessed until after the election. In what is already a tough cycle because of the presidential election, having the financial resources compromised puts many of the races in question. Having competed against a super majority for several years and seeing the presidential election as a boon for their base, the House Democrats were already looking to pick up quite a few seats. With the new financial woes that the Republicans could face, Democrats see this election as their chance to bring better balance to the party scale in the People’s Chamber. This impact could bleed into the Senate races as well. It is also worth noting that although the House has voted Larry Householder out of the Speaker position, he remains a Representative and will also still appear on the ballot in his district. However, since the news of the criminal charges broke, four individuals have declared candidacies against him. Since the petition deadline had passed by the time of this arrest, all four opponents will be write-in candidates. At a minimum, there will be at least 19 new members of the House and five new members of the Senate.

  • 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.

  • Mike Dewine & Jon Husted Ohio Supreme Court: Mary Degenaro &Am
    Remember to vote Nov. 6 Ohio Governor & Lt. Governor: Mike DeWine & Jon Husted The DeWine and Husted ticket represents a proven leadership team for our state and overwhelmingly earned OSCPA’s endorsement. Current Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has broad experience, a positive track record of tackling tough issues and a deep understanding of what it takes for Ohio to succeed over the next four years.
