Husted vs. O'Shaughnessy

*** Note: Jon Husted, Republican of Kettering and Upper Arlington, will be on WOSU 820 AM radio this morning at 11:30 am, speaking in opposition to the rail project for Ohio. If you'd like to e-mail/phone All Sides with Ann Fisher to ask Husted about......

....why he continues to represent Kettering, when he actually lives in Upper Arlington....

....how he gets all those construction projects in Kettering (like the Austin Pike project) when they weren't even deemed necessary...

.....how he gets all those contributions from White Hat Management, the largest owner of charter schools in Ohio....

.....why he wants to stop the "golden week" when citizens of Ohio are allowed to register and vote the same week/day....

.....what other ways does he plan to restrict voting if he is elected Ohio Secretary of State....

Call/email:
Your voice matters on WOSU's All Sides with Ann Fisher.

*****Democrats have a strong candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, Mary Ellen O'Shaughnessy.
Auroraadvocate:

A clerk of courts from central Ohio will seek the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State.

Maryellen O'Shaughnessy, clerk of the Franklin County Common Pleas Court and a former Columbus City Councilwoman, made her announcement Feb. 1, two days after Democratic state Rep. Jennifer Garrison announced she was dropping out of the race.

O'Shaughnessy has the backing of Gov. Ted Strickland and state party Chairman Chris Redfern....


O'Shaughnessy will have a tough battle against the Republican "golden boy"--- Jon Husted. Husted has collected a lot of money, but many people resent his battle over his residency. Husted, as you recall, represents Kettering in the Ohio Senate, but lives with his family 99.9% of the time in fancy, schmancy Upper Arlington. The Ohio Supreme Court, controlled by Republicans, allowed Husted to claim Kettering for "voting purposes." Husted is considered very conservative.
