From Dayton Daily News:
Restoring integrity and morale to an office racked by scandal was the common theme among the contenders for attorney general. Democrat Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray, who has worked in the office as the state’s first solicitor, said he would institute background checks and annual ethics training for all employees.
“The tone in my attorney general’s office will be respect,” he said.
Attorney Mike Crites, the Republican candidate who recently was special counsel for Ohio cities, said he would “provide the strong, credible leadership that’s absolutely essential.”
He cited his service as an officer in the Navy during the Vietnam War and as U.S. attorney general for the Southern District of Ohio from 1986-93.
