From Gallipolis Daily Tribune:
Jon Husted believes it’s time for bipartisan solutions to Ohio’s problems, and that’s one of the reasons he’s in the running for Ohio secretary of state.
“People are tired of how Democrats and Republicans are doing things and want solutions, so we can focus on the economy, schools and what people need,” the freshman state senator from Kettering said in an interview prior to speaking Thursday at the annual Gallia County Republican Corn Roast. The 41-year-old legislator is new to the Senate, but not to the legislature, having graduated from the Ohio House of Representatives, where he was speaker.
The bipartisan approach is what Husted wants to bring to the secretary of state’s office as the department overseeing Ohio’s elections, especially the race for the White House, which he said have been a “national embarrassment” in the past due to poor procedures. Additionally, the secretary of state, along with the governor and state auditor, compose the apportioment board that will redraw legislative districts after the national Census is completed.
