PAC formed to bash O’Shaughnessy in secretary of state race
Critics of Democrat Maryellen O’Shaughnessy on Monday, Aug. 16, launched a political action committee that criticizes O’Shaughnessy as unqualified to become secretary of state.
The “Truth About Maryellen PAC” (TAME PAC) is not connected to the campaigns of O’Shaughnessy’s opponents in the secretary of state race, including state Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, the Republican candidate, said Jeanette Moll, TAME PAC chair.
Moll, a Zanesville Republican who lost a U.S. House primary, said that O’Shaughnessy, currently the Franklin County clerk of courts, has no election law experience, is beholden to unions and has shown her lack of respect for the U.S. Constitution by supporting gun control legislation and opposing the state’s concealed carry law.
Ohio “can’t afford on-the-job training” for secretary of state, the state’s chief elections officer, Moll said at a Columbus press conference.
O’Shaughnessy campaign manager Kyle McDermott said in a press release that “such attempts to misconstrue Maryellen’s strong record of service are laughable.”
“She is the best candidate to bring businesses and good paying jobs to Ohio, and she is the only candidate with the local government, administrative and small business experience to be Ohio’s next secretary of state.,” McDermott said.

Are you kidding me? It doesnt take a pac to know that Jon Husted is clearly the qualified candidate for Secretary of State. The fact that Jennifer Brunner simply issues directives that benefit the Democrats is absurd! We need a Secretary of State that will abide by that laws not twist the law to benefit any one party. I have seen Jon Husted in many situations where he simply does the right thing for the residents of Ohio and I am sure that he will continue that as our next Secretary of State.

Maybe O’Shaughnessy should raise some non-union money.

Um, Husted kind of wrote Ohio’s election laws in the legislature.

And just which of those attributes and experiences she’s supposedly lacking does her opponent have? Can’t think of any except election law dealing with residency!
