  • 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.

In this new post-reform era, WellPoint’s Public Affairs function is more important than ever as the government expands its regulatory scope into our key lines of business. By 2015, almost 66 percent of the company’s revenue will be paid either in part or entirely by the federal and state government. For this reason, we continue to play an active role in the political process through our Public Affairs efforts, industry memberships and WellPAC, our political action committee. More than 1,875 WellPoint associates provided voluntary nancial support to WellPAC in 2012. Their generosity allowed our PAC to make contributions of more than $780,000 to federal campaigns and $140,000 to state and local campaigns on both sides of the political aisle in 2012. Our participation in the political process helps us develop good working relationships with Members of Congress, as well as key state legislators, in order to communicate WellPoint’s perspective on a range of issues including the cost and quality of today’s health care, the establishment of insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid.

  • June 14, 2021 the Honorable Matt Dolan Senator, District #24 Chair Of
    June 14, 2021 The Honorable Matt Dolan Senator, District #24 Chair of the Senate Finance Committee Statehouse, Senate Building Columbus, OH 43215 Re: HB 110 Should Support Community Broadband Solutions, Which Are Critical to Connect All Ohio Residents Dear Chair Dolan, Vice Chair Gavarone, and Ranking Member Sykes, Residents and businesses in every corner of Ohio need high-quality, reliable, and affordable Internet access. Next Century Cities is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) focused on supporting local officials and community leaders in their efforts to bring high- quality and affordable service within reach for every resident, including 11 of our member municipalities in Ohio. Statewide, local governments have established their own broadband solutions to fill critical service gaps and revitalize their community’s economy. Thousands of Ohio residents and businesses enjoy fast, reliable service through municipally owned and operated networks. For example, community-owned broadband providers in Fairlawn and Hudson were created to fill a bandwidth void, not served by local incumbent providers. These networks now offer transparent prices and have kept their businesses and residents connected to vital resources throughout the pandemic. Medina County operates an open-access network that promotes competition among providers, while the service that the City of Dublin provides to businesses is an essential tool for economic development. Public providers offer services that invite business investment into their communities and improve their residents’ quality of life. The Amendments to House Bill 110 (“HB 110”) passed by the Senate last week would undermine those efforts. Inhibiting current municipal providers from offering service would weaken consumer choice and reduce incentives for quality improvement.
