Husted “honored” by his win in GOP secretary of state race
State Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, said on Tuesday, May 4, that he was “honored” that Republican voters overwhelmingly selected him as their candidate for secretary of state over former Ashtabula County Auditor Sandra O’Brien.
O’Brien, the GOP candidate for state treasurer in 2006, issued this statement:
“The results were not as good as we had hoped for, I would like to thank all of my supporters and all of those who voted for me today. I would also like to congratulate all of today’s winners and wish them well in November.”
Husted will take on Democrat Maryellen O’Shaughnessy, the Franklin County clerk of courts, in the general election.

TweetMorgan concedes to Yost in GOP auditor’s race
State Rep. Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights, conceded to Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost about 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 4, in the race for the Republican nomination for auditor.
“We congratulate Dave and wish him well against David Pepper. The campaign will support his campaign to be Ohio’s next auditor,” Morgan said in a prepared statement.
He told the Dayton Daily News that he would support Yost against Democrat David Pepper in the general election but called the election outcome a story of the “bludgeon force” applied by the Ohio Republican Party on behalf of Yost, the state GOP-endorsed candidate.

TweetAP calls GOP auditor’s race for Yost
With 29 percent of precincts counted, the Associated Press called Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost the winner over state Rep. Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights, in the race for the Republican nomination for auditor on Tuesday, May 4.
Yost was leading with 67 percent of the vote to about 33 percent for Morgan.
Yost was the state GOP-endorsed candidate but Morgan, a former Huber Heights city council member, appeared to have strong support from the Tea Party movement. Morgan was the only statewide candidate endorsed by the Ohio Tea Party political action committee, which represented many but not all state Tea Party groups.
Yost will take on Democrat David Pepper, a Hamilton County commissioner, in the general election in November.

TweetStrickland TV ad features former Delphi worker from Dayton
Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland is using the story of a former Delphi worker from Dayton to kick off his TV advertising effort in his re-election campaign against Republican John Kasich, the former U.S. House member from the Columbus area.
The ad, set to start on Tuesday, May 4, uses Cofield to criticize what the Strickland campaign calls Kasich’s support for “unfair trade deals like NAFTA and PNTR in Congress.”
“We were doing good work here in Ohio - then my job got shipped to China,” Meghan Cofield says in the ad.
Kasich campaign spokesman Rob Nichols issued this response:
“Ted Strickland is in political jeopardy because his chronic mismanagement of state government worsened the recession’s impact on Ohio, and he thinks his only chance is to go negative to distract voters from his failures.
“How sad for Ted Strickland and how sad for Ohio. The 427,300 Ohioans who lost their jobs want him to get off the dime and restore Ohio’s prosperity, and instead he just retreads a union attack ad from the 2008 Obama campaign.
“Ohioans deserve better and in November they’ll be able to make the choice to do better by electing John Kasich.”
Cofield, 37, who returned to school to become a nurse after losing her Delphi job, said she did a similar ad for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) blasting Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s position on trade in the 2008 presidential campaign.
She said she’s big Strickland fan.
“I like that he has a humble beginning and he’s never forgotten where he came from,” said Cofield.
The 30-second ad is to run in the Dayton, Cleveland and Columbus markets.
