RELEASE: Ohio Democratic Party Names Collin Burton As LGBT Caucus Director
Ohio Democratic Party Names Collin Burton As LGBT Caucus Director
COLUMBUS – Today, the Ohio Democratic Party announced Collin Burton has joined its team as LGBT Caucus Director. In his new role, Burton will facilitate outreach to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community as part of the Ohio Democratic Party’s continued efforts to reach diverse constituencies throughout the Buckeye State.
Born in Youngstown and raised in Westerville, Burton is a proud Ohio native. He’s a graduate of Westerville South High School and Marquette University, with time spent at Oxford University in the United Kingdom. An early activist, Burton participated in a local city council campaign at age 12. While at Marquette, he was a founding member of the MU Gay Straight Alliance and became President of the group during his junior year. Most recently, Burton served as the co-founder of an organization called The Activist Nation, which focuses on organizing young adults to participate in global activism. Burton’s passion for open dialogue, relationship building and community engagement will be an asset to the Ohio Democratic Party.
“I am excited about this opportunity to engage the LGBT community in the work of the Ohio Democratic Party,” said Burton. “The party is moving forward with incredible momentum toward the 2010 elections, and the LGBT community has many amazing opportunities to elect progressive leaders who will advance pro-LGBT legislation at all levels in Ohio. Let’s get to work!”
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern added, “In 2005, soon after being elected Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, I decided we would build the strongest LGBT Caucus in the nation. Under James Winnett’s leadership, we achieved historic success, electing a record number of openly-gay and lesbian Ohioans at the local and county level. With Collin Burton now at the helm of our outreach to the LGBT community, we will continue to grow as a Party and be stronger than ever.”
The Ohio Democratic Party is the only known State Party in the country to have a full-time staffer dedicated to outreach to the LGBT community. In the 2009 municipal elections, ODP supported thirteen openly-LGBT candidates, electing a record ten of those candidates to office. ODP also celebrated last year’s historic passage in the Ohio House of Representatives of H.B. 176, the Equal Housing and Employment Act. All Democrats supported the bill, and we look forward to the day that Ohioans can no longer be legally fired from their jobs or kicked out of their homes because of who they are or who they love. In addition, Governor Ted Strickland was the first governor in Ohio history to appoint openly-gay and lesbian judges to the bench. He celebrated this landmark during his 2010 State of the State Address.
RELEASE: Ohio Tea Party PAC Endorses Morgan in GOP Auditor’s Race
The Ohio Tea Party Political Action Committee (PAC) of the newly formed Ohio Liberty Council endorsed State Rep. Seth Morgan in the highly contested Republican primary for Ohio Auditor. Excerpts from the Dayton Daily News article follow:
"…The Ohio Liberty Council is made up of Ohio’s Tea Party groups, 912 groups and other grassroots organizations throughout the state, the campaign said.
"Morgan [is] running for the GOP nomination against Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost. The endorsement marks an escalation in the candidates’ battle for support, coming just two days after Ken Blackwell, the 2006 GOP candidate for governor, endorsed Yost. Yost is the state GOP-endorsed candidate.
"A press release said that the endorsement required a 7/8ths majority vote.
"7/8ths of Tea Party and other like minded groups choosing to endorse a candidate is a strong statement. It means they have embraced someone as embodying their values. That does not come easily," Chris Littleton, president of the Ohio Liberty Council and the Cincinnati Tea Party, said in a press release.
…
"The release quoted state GOP Chairman Kevin Dewine of Fairborn, who backs Yost, as to the importance of the Tea Party to Republicans.
"Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine said that the Republican Party needs to listen to the Tea Party movement," Rob Scott, Morgan campaign spokesman said in the release. "Well, the movement has spoken and said they want Seth Morgan as Auditor."
…
"The release quoted DeWine as saying on Sunday, March 7:
"Every candidate and elected official should be wise to heed its warning … and the party that fails to listen will pay a heavy price."
…"

RELEASE: Secretary Brunner Responds To Unfounded Allegations
March 9, 2010
For Immediate Release
SECRETARY BRUNNER RESPONDS TO UNFOUNDED ALLEGATIONS
COLUMBUS, Ohio – In response to allegations of Steve Christopher, a former candidate for the GOP nomination for Ohio Attorney General, that, “Almost 2,000 [candidate petition] signatures were lost or never sent to the proper boards of elections for validation,” (http://www.stevechristopher.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=4&Itemid=13) by staff of the Secretary of State’s office, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner invited Attorney Christopher to produce copies of the petitions he claims to have filed with her office.
“Mr. Christopher is an attorney. Most attorneys I know keep a copy for their file when they file a document with a court or a public office. It’s what we’re taught to do in law school to keep good records for our clients, even when we may be our own client,” said Secretary Brunner, an attorney and former Franklin County Common Pleas Court judge.
Secretary Brunner denied Attorney Christopher’s allegations that any parts of his petition for attorney general were lost or mishandled.
Secretary Brunner continued, “We haven’t heard from Mr. Christopher, and I’m surprised that he hasn’t just called or come to our office to try to resolve what he claims are discrepancies between what was filed and what was examined by the state’s bipartisan boards of elections and found to be deficient. We would be more than happy to work through this issue with him, if he would ask us,” Secretary Brunner said.
The practice of the Secretary of State’s office has been to maintain a strict chain of custody in handling all petitions filed in the office, including a sequential numbering of each part petition. A record is also maintained of the detailed steps on how petitions are processed and forwarded to the 88 county boards of elections for verification, along with work logs for recording and tallying the results of county petition examinations when they are received from boards to determine if a petition has a sufficient number of signatures as required by law.
According to the Secretary of State’s office, at the time of filing, all candidates are asked to “purport” a number of signatures they believe they have gathered.
This “purported” signature number is written on the receipt given to the candidate that also indicates the candidate has paid the necessary filing fee. “We rely on candidates to have a good idea of the number of signatures they are filing, and out of respect for their busy schedule, we don’t delay them with our own count at filing, especially when the filing is made near the deadline, and there are a number of candidates who may yet have to file,” said David Farrell, Director of Elections for the Secretary of State. Any “purported” number of signatures provided by a candidate is subject to verification by Ohio’s bipartisan county boards of elections, with a final tally of results from the counties completed by the Secretary of State’s office.
Assistant Secretary of State Mike Rankin certified the names for statewide candidates for the May 4 primary election ballot on Friday, March 5, 2010, and he notified candidates by letter whether or not they had been certified for the ballot. Five of the 33 candidates who had filed their statewide candidacy petitions before the February 18 deadline did not meet the necessary valid signature requirements to qualify for the ballot.
BACKGROUND ON STEVE CHRISTOPHER’S FILING:
· Steve Christopher - Republican candidate for Attorney General
· Filed petition on Feb. 18, 2010 at approximately 12:29 p.m., before the 4:00 p.m. filing deadline
· Petition contained 104 part-petitions, with 27 lines available for signatures on each part petition for a total possible number of signatures of 2,808.
Petition was circulated in 44 counties and contained a total of 788 signatures
· 1000 valid signatures are required out of a maximum of 3000 that may be filed
· 638 signatures (out of the 788 submitted) were deemed valid by the 44 county boards of elections
A worklog containing the number of part-petitions and signatures determined to be valid or invalid as verified by the county boards of elections is available upon request.
