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.

As a former Kettering resident and former Husted supporter and constituent, I am glad to see that he may not have to pretend to live in Kettering anymore. Typical political philosophy. Move on to something bigger so that fewer people you represent know of your past transgressions. Hope he loses, doubt he will.

If he wins in November bet that Kettering address will disappear rather quickly. And Luke, lots of luck with that Libertarian foolishness — 21st Century version of the old Know Nothing Party.

More great reporting by the DDN! There is another candidate running against Husted in November, Libertarian Party of Ohio’s Charlie Earl!
