  • Post-Election Attorneys General November 7, 2018 TBD** 2020
    November 7, 2018 State Attorneys General Post-Election Report 2018 The Top Line Results New Attorneys General 18 new attorneys general will take office in January as a result of this election cycle, including • 10 Democrats elected (Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin) • 3 Republicans elected (Florida, Ohio, and South Dakota) • 4 attorneys general yet to be appointed (Wyoming, Alaska, Hawaii, Maine) • 1 attorney general to be appointed to fill a vacancy (Missouri) Turnovers There were four states that turned over party control. All turnovers were Republican to Democrat: Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada. In all of these races, the governorship went to the Democratic candidate as well. Partisan Split Party control among attorneys general is expected to be split among 27 Democratic and 24 Republican attorneys general, assuming that the three governor-appointed attorneys general will follow the governor’s party (Alaska, Wyoming, and Hawaii) and that Maine will be Democratic based on the composition of the state legislature. Before the election, the partisan split was 28 Republicans, 22 Democrats, and one Independent. Incumbency All incumbents seeking reelection won another term, except for one. Republican Brad Schimel (WI) lost his bid for reelection. Attorneys General Running for Higher Office 9 incumbent attorneys general sought higher office, with only three (Maine, Missouri, and Ohio) succeeding in that effort. Cynthia Coffman (R-CO) lost her party’s nomination for governor; Janet Mills (D-ME) won the governorship; Lori Swanson (D-CO) lost her party’s nomination for governor; Josh Hawley (R-MO) won a seat in the US Senate; Adam Paul Laxalt (R-NV) lost his race for governor; Mike DeWine (R-OH) won his race for governor; Bill Schutte (R-MI) lost his race for governor; Marty Jackley (R-SD) lost his party’s nomination for governor; and Patrick Morrissey (R-WV) lost a race for a Senate seat and will thus remain as attorney general.

  • In Victory Speech, Dewine Calls for Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems
    Vol. 132 - No. 466 Tuesday, November 6, 2018 In Victory Speech, DeWine Calls For Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems The people of Ohio need to work together to address the state's issues regardless of party affiliation, Gov.-elect Mike DeWine said following his victory over Democrat Richard Cordray Tuesday night. "As we begin this journey tonight, we must work not as Democrats, not as Republicans, but as Ohioans," DeWine told supporters at the Ohio Republican Party's election night party in Columbus. "Ohioans should unite around a shared mission to ensure that every single person in this state - every child, no matter where they're born, no matter who their parents are, no matter what their circumstances -- has the opportunity to live up to their God-given potential. ... "As governor, it will be my responsibility, and a responsibility that I take very seriously, to pull people together -- Democrats, Republicans and Independents -- for our common cause, because Ohio's challenges ... are not solvable just by one party," DeWine continued. "Our fundamental beliefs and core values as Ohioans, what we share together truly transcends party politics." DeWine, the current attorney general, ended up winning the governor's race with 50.66 percent of the vote, beating Cordray's 46.44 percent, according to unofficial results. Libertarian Party candidate Travis Irvine finished with 1.79 percent, while Green Party candidate Constance Gadell-Newton received 1.1 percent. DeWine said his next administration will work to improve the state's schools, address drug addiction and create jobs. "Come with us as we make Ohio's schools the best in the nation.

  • March 2018 Delaware County Democratic Party Newsletter Issue #3 Ed Helvey, Chair Money Is the Mother's Milk of Politics
    Delaware County Democratic Party March 2018 Issue #3 Newsletter Ed Helvey, Chair Money is the mother’s milk of politics. -Jesse Unruh, California State Treasurer, 1966 I am often asked two questions that are closely related: Why should I donate money to the Delaware County Democratic Party, and, why doesn’t the party do more. Let me clearly answer both of these questions. First of all, our county party is self-sustaining. Contrary to popular opinion, we receive no financial support from the state or national parties. In fact, each county is assessed an amount to donate to the state party. In exchange, the Ohio Democratic Party provides us with organizers, computer support, and campaign materials for state candidates. Otherwise, it is up to us to organize and assist our local candidates. First and foremost of our expenses is our headquarters. Rent, utilities, phones, supplies, etc. runs us about $15,300 annually. Other expenses, including fundraising costs, promotional materials, sample ballots, and candidate contributions brings the total budget to over $40,000. This doesn’t seem like a great deal of money in a place like Delaware County unless you are trying to raise it. Don’t get me wrong; we have many generous donors who have seen us through thus far. However, if we want to get to the next level, we need to widen our fundraising base. Our membership drive and various fundraisers are our traditional fundraising vehicles. Annual dues are very reasonably priced at $25 per year, though this year I would like you to consider making a $5 or $10 monthly donation for the next 12 months.

    8/23/2018 julynews2018 content NEW S AND NOTES ­ July 2018 {{ recipient.first_name_or_friend }} ­ The weather is heating up, and with it our activities in support of Democrats in Portage County and beyond! This month alone, we'll have had two major events in Streetsboro's Family Days and our Chair's Circle Fundraiser, hosted Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper for a press conference on healthcare, and supported our candidates for office with several fundraisers. As we move into the heart of summer next month, those activities will only accelerate, with several more events including one of the year's biggest, the Randolph Fair. Through it all, our candidates and activists have been spreading the word that Democrats are a party putting people first ­ with access to healthcare, fair wages, support for women, and candidates you can trust to get the job done. We're excited about the slate of candidates we have and our plan for supporting them, and there are many opportunities for you to get engaged in that important work. Some of them are below. In the days ahead, we'll be opening our office for regular hours, welcoming staff from the Ohio Democratic Party, and assisting our candidates in the day­to­day voter contact efforts that will be so key to their success. Please be on the lookout for those opportunities, and make the time to be a part of moving our community forward this year. Big or small, all our efforts will matter this year. As always, if there is anything else you think we should include in this space in the future, please don't hesitate to let us know by contacting 2nd Vice Chair Brad Cromes.

    2018 U.S. State Elections Roundup Introduction Welcome to McGuireWoods Consulting’s 2018 U.S. State Elections Roundup interactive website -- your one-stop resource for this year’s gubernatorial, attorneys general, and state legislature races. Complete with concise information about how state elections are shaping up around the country -- including snapshots of primary results and hot-button ballot initiatives -- our site provides a landscape view of our nation’s political scene and insights on potential shifts in the tide. Our goal is to provide business leaders and constituents quick, reliable access to comprehensive information about this year’s elections. Based on a compilation of public polling and forecasting data collected and analyzed by Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, the Cook Political Report, and Governing, information provided on our site will be updated as appropriate. I hope you find our site helpful, and please let us know if you have any questions about our country’s most anticipated state elections. Gov. James Hodges President +1 803 251 2301 Email McGuireWoods Consulting | 2 Why are the 2018 elections important? During midterm elections, state races often take a backseat to the races in the U.S. Congress. But for 2018, the electoral battles in the states are critical because there is much at stake: Whichever party ends up controlling the governorships and state legislatures in key states after the election will have substantial influence over the congressional redistricting process after the next census. How district maps are drawn will have an impact on state and congressional races in the next 10 years. New maps could increase the number of seats in Congress for one party or the other, effectively giving one party an advantage in securing majorities in state legislatures and the U.S.

  • 2018 Ohio Primary Election Update and Summary
    2018 Ohio primary election update and summary May 9, 2018 On Tuesday, May 8, 2018, Ohioans cast ballots in the 2018 primary election. For the first time since 2006, five statewide elected offices were up for election without an incumbent running in the 2018 general election. Below, we have compiled results of some races of particular note and will continue to closely watch these races and others as we move toward the general election in November. (A full list of results from the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate races with primary contests is also included.) As results continue to come in, be advised that some of the information below may change. We will continue to update this publication as the boards of elections finalize results. U.S. Senate Congressman Jim Renacci (R-Wadsworth) successfully defeated Cleveland businessman Mike Gibbons for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator. Congressman Renacci received about 47 percent of the vote, while Mr. Gibbons received almost 32 percent of the vote. Congressman Renacci will face Democratic incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown in the November general election. Congressman Renacci branded himself as the “Trump” candidate, while Mr. Gibbons described himself as a moderate conservative outsider. President Trump publicly endorsed Congressman Renacci before the primary election. Copyright © 2021 Bricker & Eckler LLP. All rights reserved. 1 U.S. House of Representatives Former Republican Congressman Pat Tiberi retired from Congress in January 2018, and 17 candidates filed to fill his seat in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District. With a crowded Republican field for the special primary and primary elections, State Senator Troy Balderson (R-Zanesville) led his opponent in both races with about 29 percent of the vote for the special primary election for the unexpired term and 29 percent of the vote for the primary election for the new term.
