Ohio GOP Women Seeking Office Move Forward


I don’t want to get known as ignoring the successes of recruiting and supporting. So here is a story from the Columbus Dispatch about GOP women getting endorsements for their races:

Former candidates Angel Rhodes and Julie Hubler mounted vigorous floor fights to win the party’s backing over two newcomers who had been picked by the screening committee.

Rhodes, who ran for Franklin County commissioner against incumbent Paula Brooks in 2008, got the nod to oppose Democrat John Patrick Carney in the 22nd Ohio House District race. The screening committee had recommended Dublin business entrepreneur Kathy Eshelman.

…

Hubler, a Dublin attorney for 24 years, won her floor fight over Jackson Township Trustee Daphne Hawk for nomination for county commissioner. Hubler ran unsuccessfully for Franklin County Common Pleas Court in 2004.

Should these in fact be strong candidates with support from enough Ohioans to continue to win, and enough smarts to succeed overall as legislators and commissioners, I hope that they continue to be supported as they rack up experience.
