COLUMBUS, OH— Ohio Republican Party Chairman Bob Paduchik released the following statement on John Cranley’s and Nan Whaley’s far-left running mate picks:

“John Cranley and Nan Whaley have quite a few things in common, namely, failing the cities they were elected to serve, championing radical policies, and picking out-of-touch running mates to join their ticket—on the same day.

Justice Brunner Refusal to Answer for Significant Conflicts of Interest with Redistricting Litigants to be a Major Campaign Issue

COLUMBUS, OH—It has been nearly two months since the Ohio Republican Party brought to light Justice Jennifer Brunner’s serious conflicts of interest with litigants in all three redistricting cases. Chairman Bob Paduchik issued the following statement calling once more for Justice Brunner’s accountability to Ohio voters:

“If Justice Jennifer Brunner continues refusing to give Ohio voters an explanation on how she can fairly preside over redistricting cases given her close financial and personal ties with redistricting litigants, particularly Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, we will make it a major campaign issue.

“Ohio residents deserve an impartial constitutional review of the newly drawn districts—Justice Brunner has shown she is incapable of providing a fair opinion. Until she recuses herself or justifies to Ohioans how she can maintain impartiality, Ohio voters will hold Justice Brunner accountable at the ballot box next November.”

  • Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder was the VIP guest at a 2020 fundraiser for Jennifer Brunner’s campaign for Ohio Supreme Court. Holder is chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a plaintiff in the second lawsuit suit.
  • The Ohio Environmental Council Action Fund, in a 2020 endorsement of Brunner, stated “Judge Brunner is committed to defending our democracy and upholding a fair redistricting process when new legislative and political boundaries are drawn.” The OECAF parent organization, Ohio Environmental Council, is a plaintiff in the third lawsuit.
  • Brunner launched the Ohio Redistricting Competition with League of Women Voters of Ohio and Common Cause Ohio. League of Women Voters is a plaintiff in the first lawsuit, while Common Cause did the bidding of Democrats throughout the redistricting process. Additionally, Brunner has recruited volunteers to support League of Women Voters activities.
  • As a candidate, Brunner repeatedly indicated she would side with the Democrats in redistricting cases, even running a Facebook post soliciting donations “to end partisan redistricting.” Ohio’s Rules of judicial conduct require recusal when a judge has made a statement that “commits or appears to commit” them to a particular result in a case.

Chairman Paduchik Statement on Tim Ryan’s Incompetent, Job-Killing Energy Policies

COLUMBUS—Chairman Bob Paduchik issued the following statement on Tim Ryan’s pushing radical Green New Deal policies:

“Tim Ryan long supported the closing of the Keystone XL pipeline, which eliminated thousands of jobs and unilaterally increased energy prices across the country. Now, Tim Ryan is singing Joe Biden’s praises for tapping our nation’s oil reserves for one day worth of production and waging war on America’s energy industry.

“Seemingly indifferent to soaring energy prices, Tim Ryan supports shutting down yet another domestic oil pipeline, Line 5.

“Tim Ryan’s nonsensical policies only serve to empower our adversaries, undermine American workers, and cost Ohioans more to heat their homes and fill up their gas tanks.”

Statement from Ohio Republican Party Chairman on VP Kamala Harris’s Columbus Public Relations Tour

COLUMBUS—Chairman Bob Paduchik issued the following statement on VP Harris using taxpayer dollars to go on a PR tour amid the highest total apprehensions at the U.S. southern border in history:

“Vice President Harris is proving herself to be an empty suit whose list of accomplishments could be written on a grain of sand. Instead of attempting to take a political victory lap on taxpayers’ dime and reclaim any semblance of credibility, she should be doing her job and fixing the unprecedented border crisis that she continues to fuel.”

Two Weeks and Counting, Justice Brunner Refuses to Answer to Ohio Voters on Conflicts of Interest with Litigants

COLUMBUS, OH—It has been two weeks since the Ohio Republican Party brought to light Justice Jennifer Brunner’s serious conflicts of interest with litigants in all three redistricting cases. Chairman Bob Paduchik issued the following statement calling for Justice Brunner’s accountability to Ohio voters:

“Justice Jennifer Brunner has had two weeks to offer Ohio voters an explanation on how she can fairly preside over redistricting cases given her close relationships with litigants in all three lawsuits and her prior public statements committing her to side with the Democrats. Of particular concern is her close relationship with Obama Attorney General Eric Holder who openly advocates for gerrymandering in favor of Democrats.

“Justice Brunner should follow Justice Pat DeWine’s lead and offer Ohio voters a transparent, ethically sound justification for how she can maintain impartiality in redistricting cases. If not, Justice Brunner needs to do right by Ohioans and recuse herself.”

  • Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder was the VIP guest at a 2020 fundraiser for Jennifer Brunner’s campaign for Ohio Supreme Court. Holder is chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a plaintiff in the second lawsuit suit.
  • The Ohio Environmental Council Action Fund in a 2020 endorsement of Brunner, stated “Judge Brunner is committed to defending our democracy and upholding a fair redistricting process when new legislative and political boundaries are drawn.” The OECAF parent organization, Ohio Environmental Council, is plaintiff in the third lawsuit.

Chairman Paduchik Statement on Justice Brunner’s Refusal to Address Her Serious Conflicts of Interest

COLUMBUS, OH—Chairman Bob Paduchik issued the following statement on Justice Jennifer Brunner’s refusal to address her conflicts of interest in Ohio’s redistricting cases:

“It has been one week since the Ohio Republican Party exposed Justice Brunner’s significant conflicts that disqualify her ability to be impartial in hearing Ohio redistricting cases. Justice Brunner has thus far refused to recuse herself or explain how she can fairly preside over redistricting cases given her close relationships with litigants in all three lawsuits.

“Ohio residents deserve an impartial constitutional review of the newly drawn legislative districts, and Justice Brunner is incapable of providing a fair opinion. We will continue to hold Justice Brunner accountable until she recuses herself or justifies to Ohio voters how she can maintain impartiality in redistricting cases.”
