Ohio House GOP caucus votes to pull speaker's control of incumbents' election fund

A faction of the Ohio House GOP is again trying to wrest control of money set aside for campaigning incumbents from Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hill), showing the infighting over last year’s divisive speakership election is still simmering.

In a Wednesday morning caucus vote before Gov. Mike DeWine delivered his annual State of the State address, about 40 caucus members voted on a resolution for Rep. Phil Plummer (R- Dayton) to take over the Ohio House Republican Alliance (OHRA) account, said Rep. Ron Ferguson (R-Wintersville). The OHRA funds races for legislative incumbents.

The resolution members ratified doesn’t just hand the reins over to Plummer. According to its text, Plummer can create “any number of additional new” bank accounts, for the purpose of funding incumbents, provided anyone prevents him from accessing the current one.

“We dotted the I’s, we crossed the T’s,” Ferguson said.
