Morgan wins endorsement of Greene County Republicans in state auditor race
State Rep. Seth Morgan won the endorsement of the Greene County Republican Party on Thursday, Feb. 18, with 60 percent of the vote.
The Greene County party voted the opposite of the Ohio Republican Party which is backing Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost.
Morgan entered the auditor’s race after incumbent Republican Auditor Mary Taylor joined GOP gubernatorial candidate John Kasich as his lieutenant governor running mate.
Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine asked Yost to drop out of the attorney general’s race and run for auditor.
“Seth Morgan continues to be recognized as the most qualified candidate of either party for Auditor of State,” said Rob Scott, Morgan’s communications director, in a statement released after the Greene County GOP endorsement. The Greene County endorsement is the second county endorsement Seth Morgan has received in more than a week. Brown County Republicans nominated Morgan last week.
