Republican Ohio Supreme Court justice candidates outraise Democrats in weeks before Nov. 8 election
https://www.cleveland.com/news/2022/10/republican-supreme-court-justice-candidates-outraised-democrats-in-weeks-before-nov-8-election.htmlCOLUMBUS, Ohio -The three Republicans running for seats on the Ohio Supreme Court recently raised $800,787, compared to the Democratic candidates’ haul of $468,340, new campaign finance reports show.
The reports covered contributions to the candidates from Oct. 1 to Oct. 19. The reports due Thursday were the last disclosures before the Nov. 8 election.
The Republicans were boosted by hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign cash from the Ohio Republican Party, as well as Gov. Mike DeWine’s campaign fund, which gave $7,500 to each candidate, including to DeWine’s son Ohio Supreme Court Justice Pat DeWine.
The Ohio Supreme Court races are among the most important yet relatively overlooked state races in the 2022 election. Justices wield vast amounts of power, being able to either validate or nullify laws, and the same for government and business practices that make a mark on people’s everyday lives.
Abortion bans and redistricting are among issues that will likely be heard by the next court. The court’s 4-3 Republican political balance could also flip as a result of the election.
The reports show that the Democratic candidates had more cash on hand to spend in the last days before Nov. 8.
The campaign finance reports do not show spending coming from outside groups. For instance, the Republican State Leadership Committee is running $2 million in television advertising against the Democratic candidates.
