Democrats eye retaking majority on Ohio Supreme Court for first time since 1980s

[RandySF]

A pair of Republican conservatives are opposed by Democratic challengers in the Nov. 3 election with a switch in political control of the Ohio Supreme Court possible for the first time in more than three decades.

Republicans have dominated the court since 1987 and hope at least one of the pair of Justices Judith French and Sharon Kennedy win re-election to preserve at least a 4-3 GOP advantage.

If Democrats Jennifer Brunner, a Columbus appellate judge, and John O'Donnell, a Cleveland trial court judge, succeed in winning six-year terms, the party long out of power in the ornate courtroom on Front Street will secure a 4-3 edge.

Both parties are heavily promoting their candidates, in part since the court is likely to review the now-reformed redrawing of legislative and congressional boundaries to replace gerrymandered districts drawn to favor Republicans.

1. Our Resistance Postcard-Writing group wrote and sent cards out to Ohio Democrats,

urging them to vote for Brunner and O'Donnell. Thousands.

2. I received mailers for them.

Such as this recent one:


Already voted for them, and my absentee ballot has been counted!

3. The more we educated voters about state and local elections the more Democrats will gain. nt
