OH: Pro-State Issue 1 campaign details strategy in closed-door meeting
he campaign backing State Issue 1 plans to avoid discussing the implications the measure would have for abortion rights in Ohio, even though that’s the issue that prompted Republicans to place it on the ballot in the first place. As Andrew Tobias writes, consultants running the pro-Issue 1 campaign described their strategy in a closed-door meeting with roughly 50 top Columbus lobbyists on Wednesday. The event widely was viewed by invitees as a fundraising pitch from Senate President Matt Huffman – the campaign said it is trying to raise at least $6 million – as lobbyists sweat out whether Republican legislative leaders will add their priorities in the state budget.
