Dem O’Shaughnessy launches secretary of state campaign
Democrat Maryellen O’Shaughnessy, with Gov. Ted Strickland’s blessing, launched her campaign for secretary of state, the state’s chief elections officer, on Wednesday, Feb. 10.
Strickland tapped O’Shaughnessy, Franklin County Clerk of Courts, for the slot after state Rep. Jennifer Garrison, D-Marietta, withdrew from the race.
“She will be a guardian of the integrity of the elections system and implement new ideas to increase voter participation and enhance voter protection,” Strickland said in a press release.
O’Shaughnessy pledged to “work every day to administer elections in a free, open and fair way.”
State Republican Chairman Kevin DeWine wasn’t impressed.
“Another week, another candidate for secretary of state. They obviously spin a wheel over at the Democratic Party headquarters and whoever it lands on gets to run for this office,” DeWine said in press release.
Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, and former Ashtabula County Auditor Sandra O’Brien seeking the GOP nomination for secretary of state.
