Ohio's 7th Congressional District has a deadline, and it lands Monday afternoon. Rep. Max Miller let the 90 day withdrawal mark pass on Wednesday, which killed any chance of a special primary. That leaves August 10 as the last day county party chairs can name a replacement on the ballot, and Cuyahoga County has to give two days notice before that meeting even happens. If Miller withdraws after Monday, there is no Republican on the ballot against Democrat Brian Poindexter. Meanwhile a co/efficient poll circulating this week has Miller down 14, Sen. Bernie Moreno says Miller fails any basic standard of character for elected office, and Sen. Jon Husted has called on him to resign and drop out. Speaker Mike Johnson says the Ethics Committee process has to play out. This episode walks the clock, the record, and the Republican split. Then the main event: your entire statewide ballot, office by office. What the governor actually controls. What the Secretary of State actually controls, and what Robert Sprague says he wants to do with it, including a front end citizenship check, photo ID, and his stated interest in Ohio returning to in person voting. What the Attorney General decides. What the Auditor audits, and why that office sits on the Ohio Redistricting Commission. Plus the race that gets the deepest dive of the night: Treasurer of State, an open seat, where the unclaimed funds question and stadium financing collide. Statehouse Watch covers the JobsOhio board chairman who is a registered lobbyist paid by Intel while the board he chairs disbursed more than two million dollars to that company, what JobsOhio and the governor's office say in response, what the Ohio Ethics Commission says, and the structural reason none of it is illegal. Also, 14 Ohio universities landed on a national free speech watch list, with the national context most coverage leaves out. Research on a Dime explains something almost nobody covers: exactly how an Ohio political party replaces a nominee on the ballot, the 90 day and 86 day marks, the two day notice rule, and what happens when the window closes. Political solutions without political bias. Building a better Ohio on the way to a better America.

With early voting already underway, Ohio voters are being asked to decide if a new approach to redrawing the state's electoral districts is necessary. At stake is potentially nothing less than the future control of Ohio's statewide legislative bodies. The nonprofit Citizens Not Politicians asserts that Ohio's current electoral districts are gerrymandered – or drawn unfairly to tilt the electoral playing field – and favors Republicans who currently control both the Ohio House and Senate, while Republican leaders have said no such unfairness exists and that the Democratic failure to secure more of Ohio's legislative seats is simply an accurate reflection of voter preference. If the proposed ballot initiative passes, control over drawing Ohio's electoral districts will pass from politicians to a new 15-member nonpartisan board. Will the state's voters agree that gerrymandering is an issue Ohio needs to solve with a fresh approach, or will the status quo win out? We unpack the future of Ohio's legislative districts and the stark choice the state's voters face this fall.

Enactment of the Biden infrastructure plan is a once-in-a-generation investment in America's economy, but will it translate into political benefits for Democrats?

Ohio’s Auditor Keith Faber provides his Statement following the indictment of Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader on Friday June 28th, 2019.

Faber talks about transparency, accountability, and efficiency in state/local government.

How do you know if your tax dollars are being well spent? Or if some unscrupulous elected official might have his hand in the cookie jar? Keeping tabs on those kinds of things, and many others, is the job of the Ohio Auditor of State. Just a few months ago, Keith Faber became our state’s 33rd auditor. Today we learn more about the office, and visit about some important issues in state government in general.

Shaggy speaks with Keith Faber, running for Ohio Auditor

Keith Faber, a former president of the Ohio Senate and now a state representative from Celina, is seeking to be the next Ohio auditor. We talk to him about his plans for the office and his record.

Zack Space, a former Democratic congressman from Dover, is his party's nominee for state auditor in an unusually competitive election year. We discuss his vision for the office and why he thinks he's better suited than his Republican opponent.

In anticipation of the 2018 midterm elections, today we’re bringing you a very special episode of Heinz Radio. First time host Collin T Hayes sits down with three guests to discuss their passions for policy and public service, their views on the current partisan climate, and their visions for our political future. First, United States Congressman Tim Ryan (D - Ohio’s 13th) shares some bold ideas for economic development and offers his view of national politics from a “bread and butter” Midwestern district where voters feel left behind by global market trends (4:15). Then we’re joined by Zack Space, who is running for Ohio Auditor, and, if elected, plans to use the powers of this office to combat “hyper-partisan” gerrymandering and limit the influence of money in politics (27:55). Finally, we speak with Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, IN, about how a “beta city” can offer innovative solutions for urban revitalization and how he hopes inspire optimism in the next generation of America’s leaders (46:46). Special thanks to Sarah Schreck for co-hosting this episode.

Ohio Auditor Dave Yost tells John why he wants the state to stop issuing permits to grow medical pot after a convicted drug felon was part of the board that got to review applications.

In our nation's federalist system, the federal government's powers are limited to those that have been prescribed by the U.S Constitution, with additional powers reserved to the states. In recent years, state attorneys general have served as a robust check on executive branch overreach, increasingly using litigation to challenge federal encroachment with respect to environmental and land use issues, immigration, labor policy, and health care (among other examples). This panel will discuss what Ohio can and should do to fight federal encroachment into state affairs. How will federalism be protected during the Trump Administration? -- This panel was held during the Inaugural Ohio Chapters Conference at the Athletic Club of Columbus on Friday, March 31, 2017. -- Featuring: Hon. Mike DeWine, Ohio Attorney General; David Fornshell, Warren County Prosecutor; Hon. Wes Goodman, Ohio House of Representatives, District 87 and Hon. Dave Yost, Ohio Auditor of State. Moderator: Eric Murphy, Ohio State Solicitor. Introduction: Ben Flowers, President, Columbus Lawyers Chapter.

Rep. John Patrick Carney (D), and Dave Yost (R) and current Ohio Auditor, are both wanting to be elected as the next Auditor of the state of Ohio. Both gentlemen share their thoughts on the role of government, and what they will do in office to make our lives better. Length 39:20
