Thank you!
I want to personally thank our dedicated staff members and many volunteers for their tireless efforts throughout the campaign. Together, we convinced more than 230,000 citizens to break with entrenched party politics to support our candidacy. Our campaign for attorney general was the most successful independent race for statewide executive office in Ohio history.
During the course of the campaign, we brought public attention to a number of important issues affecting the people of Ohio
- We exposed pay to play political tools like no bid contracts and slush funds costing Ohio citizens millions.
- We exposed the illegal actions of a political operative in the Attorney General’s office that put thousands of criminal cases in jeopardy.
- We put forward a positive community action plan, including an agenda to address issues particularly in urban areas such as an abortion rate 5X times higher in inner city areas.
- Over the course of five debates, our campaign addressed substantive issues to advance a pro-freedom, pro-business, pro-family, pro-community message.
I was grateful to see the other candidates follow our leadership by beginning to address some of these issues near the end of the campaign. When I spoke with Mr. Cordray on election evening, I encouraged him to make these issues a priority. We will be watching very closely to make sure that he does.
As our plans for the future take shape, we will make you aware of our next battle on behalf of the people of Ohio. Thank you again for your support!
In Liberty,
Robert Owens
