  • Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020
    Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020 Summary of Races: The biggest story in Statehouse races as we approach Election Day is the recent charges that have been brought against Larry Householder. The criminal complaint brought against him alleges he took part in a $61 million racketeering scheme. As the case pends in federal court, many of the campaign funds that the House Republican Caucus rely on for financial support have been frozen and likely will not be able to be accessed until after the election. In what is already a tough cycle because of the presidential election, having the financial resources compromised puts many of the races in question. Having competed against a super majority for several years and seeing the presidential election as a boon for their base, the House Democrats were already looking to pick up quite a few seats. With the new financial woes that the Republicans could face, Democrats see this election as their chance to bring better balance to the party scale in the People’s Chamber. This impact could bleed into the Senate races as well. It is also worth noting that although the House has voted Larry Householder out of the Speaker position, he remains a Representative and will also still appear on the ballot in his district. However, since the news of the criminal charges broke, four individuals have declared candidacies against him. Since the petition deadline had passed by the time of this arrest, all four opponents will be write-in candidates. At a minimum, there will be at least 19 new members of the House and five new members of the Senate.

  • Internal Assessment of Police Reform Efforts Ohiomayorsalliance.Org
    POLICE REFORM SUPPORT NETWORK PRELIMINARY REPORT Internal Assessment of Police Reform Efforts ohiomayorsalliance.org OHIO MAYORS ALLIANCE 1 POLICE REFORM SUPPORT NETWORK The Ohio Mayors Alliance announced the formation of its Police Reform Support Network in June 2020 following the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. This event set off an unprecedented period of protest in communities large and small across the country and around the globe. While the call for change in policing practices was a national movement, the work to identity and implement change fell at the doorstep of mayors throughout Ohio and beyond. To support our cities in these efforts, the Ohio Mayors Alliance launched the Police Reform Support Network and hired a new staff member to lead this work. 2 OHIO MAYORS ALLIANCE INTERNAL POLICE REFORM POLICY SURVEY As the urgent calls for change were echoing across the country, the Ohio Mayors Alliance looked at a variety of proposed reforms and developed a survey for our members to develop a preliminary understanding of the efforts that were underway in our cities, as well as the opportunities for additional change. The survey questions drew upon recommendations from groups like the “8 Can’t Wait” campaign (8cantwait.org) and others. The areas of focus for the survey included: limits on use of force, transparency, accountability and oversight, recruiting and training, crowd control policies, and efforts to rethink community safety. Notably, the City of Canton is compliant with the “8 Can’t Wait” campaign. A copy of the survey questions can be found in Addendum 1.
