  • 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.

  • 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.

    Government Relations Update Election 2010 Special Edition The Political Pendulum Swings Back to Favor GOP period of Democratic dominance, but only two years later the public has voted for change. While some are sure to trumpet the Republican victory as a validation of the GOP’s agenda, recent history warns of over- interpreting the election results. Analysts and pundits have repeatedly argued over the last several election cycles that a significant victory by one party or the other is the first step to an enduring or permanent majority; however, after last night’s results, it is clearer than ever that the pendulum continues to swing, and that the U.S. political waters continue to be roiled. While Republicans and Democrats both may overstate the long-term significance of last night’s Republican victory, there are some broad mes- sages from yesterday’s results. First and foremost, voters across the board are deeply concerned that the economy has not rebounded.
