  • Election 2016: Recap from a Historic Night
    November 14, 2016 Election 2016: Recap from a Historic Night As we digest the 2016 election, it was again clear that the old adage “to win the presidency you must win Ohio” held true. Donald Trump will become the 45th President of the United States following one of the wildest election nights our nation has ever seen. Here in Ohio, Mr. Trump held on to a 52.6-43.0 percent victory. This is the largest victory margin in an Ohio presidential election since 1988 when George H.W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis by 10.9 percent. Rob Portman wins second term in U.S. Senate; all incumbents win U.S. Congressional races In Ohio’s Senate race, Sen. Rob Portman routed former Gov. Ted Strickland in what was a crucial battleground state. While national Democrats initially had high hopes that they would be able to oust Portman with a high profile challenger such as Strickland, they quickly faced insurmountable fundraising deficits and outside spending on behalf of Portman’s campaign. Portman ultimately came out on top 58.3-36.9 percent. There were no surprises in any of the 16 Ohio Congressional districts, as all of the incumbent members won by comfortable margins. In Washington, our state is now represented by one Republican and one Democrat Senator and 12 Republican members and four Democrat House members. DeWine wins open seat for Ohio Supreme Court; Fischer ahead; O’Connor unopposed It was the race between Ohio Appellate Judge Pat Fischer and Cuyahoga Common Pleas Judge John O’Donnell that got the most attention down the stretch.

  • Most Lawmakers Running in Local Races Fare Well
    November 10, 2016 Most lawmakers running in local races fare well State lawmakers running for local posts nearly ran the table on Tuesday, with just one going down in defeat. The lone loss came in Stark County, where Canton Township Trustee Bill Smith secured an unofficial 57.5-42.5% victory over Rep. Stephen Slesnick (D-Canton) in the race for a seat on the Stark County Board of Commissioners. The House's second highest-ranking Republican, Rep. Ron Amstutz (R-Wooster), secured a seat on the Wayne County Board of Commissioners after defeating David Keifer by a preliminary margin of about 70-30%. Mr. Keifer sought Rep. Amstutz's House seat in the March primary election but was defeated by Scott Wiggam, who went on to win the general election race. In Huron County, Rep. Terry Boose (R-Norwalk) bested Democrat Howard Smith in the race for a seat on the Huron County Board of Commissioners by about a margin of 64-36%, preliminary results show. Democratic lawmaker, Denise Driehaus (D-Cincinnati), is ahead of Hamilton County Commissioner Dennis Deters by a margin of 50.2 - 49.8% in the unofficial results. Term-limited Rep. Bill Hayes (R-Harrison Twp.) defeated his Democratic opponent, attorney Chris Shook, by a margin of 63.6-36.4% for the Licking County prosecutor's office. Sen. Shannon Jones (R-Springboro) was uncontested for a seat on the Warren County Board of Commissioners. 1 Republican majority increases in Ohio Senate Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump's surprisingly strong win in Ohio was mirrored down ticket in legislative races, as the GOP was able to add to historically large majorities in both the House and 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.

  • December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK
    December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK SESSION WITH SEVERAL MUNICIPAL ISSUES ADDRESSED The lame duck session ended Friday morning at about 3:30 am and as the dust settled, we’re proud to report that Ohio municipalities were able to claim a number of victories, a few draws, and only a limited number of losses. Now, we immediately turn our agenda to the next General Assembly, with the release of our first broad based policy report tomorrow. We would like to express our gratitude toward the many members of the General Assembly who worked with us on these many issues. Many members worked with us late into the night many times and worked hard to consider our concerns. Below, we review the legislation that effected municipalities in the final days of the session. Each of the following bills has been sent to Governor Kasich for his consideration. First, is Senate Bill 331, introduced by Senator Bob Peterson (R-Washington Court House). The original bill would regulate the sale of dogs from pet stores and dog retailers and to require the Director of Agriculture to license pet stores. This bill was introduced to create a statewide regulatory framework for pet breeding. The OML opposed this portion of the bill as an infringement on Home Rule and “single issue rule” problems which is the part of the Ohio Constitution that prohibits the legislature from passing bills with multiple subjects. This bill became a “Christmas tree bill” where numerous amendments were added, including language from AT&T on the 5G roll out Amendment 1: As mentioned above and as many of our members are aware, the House Finance committee amended the bill to create new regulations concerning micro wireless facility operators for their use of municipally owned land.
