    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.

Many companies seek input from those people outside their organization for solving some of their trickiest problems. Open innovation help them to drive employee productivity, customer loyalty and better innovation. Open innovation process consists of three main steps. These are concept phase, development phase and implementation phase. In the concept phase, research activities are carried out. In the development phase, skills are defined and projects are developed. In the implementation phase projects are implemented and exchange of information is accelerated. P&G leads the companies who applied concept of open innovation successfully in the world. Procter & Gamble Co. as the world’s 40th biggest and 84th innovative company created the web site for this propose which is known Connect + Develop to encourage open innovation to help them to drive employee productivity.

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
