Republican Candidates
We must elect our Republican candidates this year, from the President all the way down the ticket to our County Coroner.
There are two races in particular we must be focused on for 2020 – the Ohio Supreme Court. These races are nonpartisan. No R or D after their name, so you need to remember to vote for these two Constitutional Conservatives on the bench.
