  • 2006 Primary Election Results
    The Hannah Report Special Election Edition May 3, 2006 2006 Primary Election Results Party caucuses held a few surprises Tuesday. There were a number of anticipated blow-outs and several nail-biters, including a seven-way Democratic primary in the 10th House District that was still too close to call at end of business Wednesday. Results remain officially "unofficial" in all races and do not reflect provisional voting. Absentee ballots were also out in Cuyahoga County, where the election board was forced to count votes by hand in the 10th District and other races. A disclaimer at the secretary of state's website notes that results will be final 81 days after the date on which county boards of elections have all completed official canvases, which must be no later than May 23, 2006. Statewide Races U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland (D-Ohio) easily overcame his opponent to win the Democratic caucus for governor by a factor of four. Bryan Flannery was unable to capitalize on allegations concerning a former Strickland staffer arrested for public indecency. On the Republican side, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell banked on a well-organized and financially generous grassroots effort to pass Attorney General Jim Petro for the gubernatorial nomination. In the attorney general campaign, Sen. Tim Grendell (R-Chesterland) acknowledged the inevitability of former attorney general Betty Montgomery's bid for another Republican nomination to her old job, conceding early Tuesday to the sitting auditor. Among Democrats, former Cleveland law director Subodh Chandra won numerous newspaper endorsements -- though not his party's -- for attorney general, which was instead claimed by leading workers' comp critic Sen.

  • 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.
