  • Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Elections in Ohio
    Chapter 8 Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Elections in Ohio Major and Minor Parties in Ohio Ohio has a very rich history of strong political parties. The Ohio Democratic Party is older than the Republican Party, having its origins in the foundingdistribute period of the state. Initially, a party known as the Federalists served as the main rival to the Dem- ocratic Party (or the Democratic or Jeffersonian Republicans,or as they were sometimes know). As the Federalist Party faded, the Whig Party emerged as the opponent of the Democrats.1 The Whigs were strong in the “Western Reserve” part of the state, which is the northeast corner of Ohio. The Whig Party held to strong abolitionist views and so served as the natural core for the emergence of Republican Party in Ohio in the 1850s. post, Beyond the Democrats and the Republicans, minor political parties have struggled to gain ballot access and sustain their legal status in Ohio. In the 2012 general election, no minor parties received even 1 percent of the vote, although the Libertarian Party presidential candidate came close, receiving .89 percent of the popular vote. Among thecopy, other minor parties, the Socialist Party presidential can- didate received .05 percent of the vote, while the Constitution Party received .15 percent and the Green Party received .33 percent. Even thoughnot third parties do not currently have much hope for winning the plurality of the vote necessary to actually be awarded an office in Ohio, they can affect a close election by siphoning off votes that might otherwise go to one of the majorDo party candidates.

  • “Bud” Brown Jr. Oral History Interviews Final Edited Transcript
    The Honorable Clarence J. “Bud” Brown Jr. U.S. Representative of Ohio (1965–1983) Oral History Interviews Final Edited Transcript November 15, 2013 November 22, 2013 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC “Well, the first thing is that I had been out selling fruitcakes on that Sunday in my neighborhood as a member of the Boy Scout troop and came home to have my Dad and family tell me that—and my sister was living with us at the time, then just graduated out of Duke—and they told me about the attack on Pearl Harbor. My Dad said, ‘Why don’t you get dressed up tomorrow to go down to the Capitol with me?’ And that was an invitation that I could not refuse because I figured it was going to be a vote on us entering the war. Roosevelt would be there as the President and made the ‘Day that Will Live in Infamy’ speech. But the thing Dad did when we walked in, Johnny McCabe, who was the doorkeeper, from the Republican side of the House Chamber, stopped us at the door. And Dad said, ‘I’ll go on in. And Johnny, when you’re ready to let him in, just tell him to go to the back of the chamber.’ And that’s where I did . and I was next to the woman from Montana [Jeannette Rankin] who was a Member of Congress and who was the ‘no’ vote. She was there close to us.” The Honorable Clarence J. “Bud” Brown Jr.

But Bud made it then, and he .has made it since. I also had the privilege in those days,a good many years ago, of coachin~ Bob Taft and Bud Brown and working with Del Latta. It is just nice to be here with old friends that have done so well and contributed so much. And I thank you very, very much, Bud and Bob, Bill and Del. You know I when I was do~m at Ohio State about a month ago, and they were so klnd to ask a Michigander to make a commencement address,and were so kind to make available two tickets to the Michigan-Ohio State game, I thought it was wonderful, and I went back to Washington and I had my daily meeting the next morning with Henry Kissinger.
