Eric Brown is a Franklin County Judge whose wife is a Franklin County Commissioner (think fund raising); he is well thought of in the legal community (think trial lawyer support with enthusiasm); he has a great ballot name; he has roots in the Cleveland community (think media) and he stands head and shoulders above Justice O'Connor when it comes to legal experience (think qualifications, newspaper endorsements). Judge Eric Brown would make a great Chief Justice. I hope he runs. And there is also the balance issue...the voters are tired of an unbalanced Court that is 7-0 Republican...and we already have a superb candidate in Judge Mary Jane Trapp for the other seat. This is starting to sound like a slate worth working for.
According to today's Columbus Disgrace, Franklin County Clerk of Courts is considering running against Jennifer Garrison for Secretary of State.
Please happen!!!!
