Jon Husted

The Dayton Daily News asked the candidates for Ohio secretary of state to provide a letter of endorsement from one of their supporters.

'Works hard for the betterment of others’

This letter of endorsement for Maryellen O’Shaughnessy was written by Capri S. Cafaro, Minority Leader, Ohio Senate 32nd District.

Maryellen O’Shaughnessy is an unwavering, dedicated Ohioan who continually works hard for the betterment of others. For years, she has fought for the hardworking men and women of Ohio, and she will continue to work for them as our next secretary of state.

Maryellen has a deep-rooted commitment to serving the people of Ohio. She will continue her strong and principled leadership when elected to that office.

Ohioans need a leader in the secretary of state’s office who understands their needs and who will listen to their concerns. O’Shaughnessy is that person. I am proud to endorse her for Ohio secretary of state because I know she will work every day to bring good-paying jobs to Ohio, while ensuring fair elections.

‘Brings people together and gets things done’

This letter of endorsement for Jon Husted was written by Bob Corbin, former state representative, of Centerville.

From his time as a football player at UD, working for Montgomery County commissioners and creating jobs as vice president of economic development at the Dayton Area Chamber, to cutting taxes and state spending as speaker of the Ohio House, Jon Husted continues to lead on issues important to the Miami Valley.

Jon brings people together and gets things done. He has a plan to restore trust and integrity to our elections and ensure only legally registered voters are able to cast ballots.

As the officeholder in charge of business filings, Jon will be a friend to small businesses, making it easier to invest and create jobs in Ohio.

Jon has the plan and leadership skills to accomplish this and more.
