State GOP chairman asks Yost to consider auditor’s race; primary with Morgan possible
Ohio Republican Chairman Kevin DeWine of Fairborn has asked Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost to consider running for state auditor, setting up a possible primary battle with state Rep. Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights.
DeWine released this statement on Thursday, Jan. 21, as Morgan was officially launching his auditor campaign:
“Dave Yost is eminently qualified to run for auditor, having served as a county auditor and county prosecutor.
“I’ve heard from party leaders across the state that they would like to see Dave represent the party as our candidate for auditor, so I’ve asked him to consider it.
“Seth is an outstanding young legislator and has a great future in our party. I’m responding to the great demand from party leaders across the state to ask Dave to run for this office.”
Yost is “very seriously considering” the auditor’s race, said Matt Borges, Yost’s spokesman.
Yost, currently is running for the GOP nomination for attorney general against former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine of Cedarville, Kevin DeWine’s cousin.
Yost is a former Delaware County auditor.

Kevin DeWine does not care about the people of Ohio, nor does he care about the people in his party. This is all about him and his. It has nothing to do with the people. Morgan is a CPA which is a good person to put into an auditor position, not a prosecutor. If Yost wants to run he should run for AG, nobody wants Mike DeWine. Kevin DeWine is out of touch with the people. The Ohio republican party is out of touch with the people.

I am voting against Mike DeWine. ORP, you decide: am I voting against DeWine in the Primary or in the General election?

Why is the ORP so willing to give up the AG seat?

The only person excited about Morgan running is the Democrat Party Chair. If Yost runs for auditor, Seth will be out of his league, no comparison. Let him go back and run for senior class president.

This is why the ORP is in the cesspool. Time to wake up old time Republicans. Hitch up your wagon and move to another place like the LP or CP. The House of Bennett will not die until the money and support for the ORP does…leave the ORP!

Typical. Put two good candidates in a race against each other so a bad candidate can run unopposed. GOP - keep the AG race competitive. When it comes to Mike DeWine, I want a to be able to vote against him in the primary.

This state needs Dave Yost as its AG and Seth Morgan as its Auditor. I’m sick of Kevin DeWine. All he’s trying to do is clear the field for his cousin to get the AG nomination without a fight.

Kevin DeWine is a sock puppet for Bob Bennett who is still pulling the strings. Give me a break kevin, we all support Yost for AG, not auditor. Morgan could easily will the auditor spot, that is if you would stop creating these problems.
