20260113 - Marcell Strbich

Military Leadership for Election Integrity: Marcel Strbich's Challenge to Ohio's Political Establishment

Marcell Strbich, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, discusses his journey from military service to running for office. With twenty years in the Air Force including combat deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa, Strbich brings extensive leadership experience to his campaign. He explains that COVID-19, concerns about the 2020 election integrity, and the treatment of military personnel who questioned mandates motivated his decision to enter politics.

Key Takeaways:

  • Election infrastructure vulnerabilities are non-partisan

    • A military professional identified specific technical gaps (uncoordinated databases, lack of mail-in verification) rather than partisan talking points, suggesting election security concerns transcend political ideology.

  • Military experience is being repositioned as election expertise
    • Strbich is leveraging two decades of operational and command experience to claim authority on election administration—a field typically managed by career election officials.
  • Anti-establishment candidates are bypassing traditional GOP networks
    • By mobilizing grassroots support instead of relying on donor relationships, Strbich represents a shift in how challengers compete against party establishment incumbents in statewide races.

20260107 - Ohio Buckeye Blueprint 2026

Taxes, Spending, Education and Energy Goals

America at a Crossroads: 2026 Prospectus with AFP Ohio Donovan O'Neil

What if Ohio could achieve a zero percent income tax within the next decade? Donovan O'Neil from Americans for Prosperity joins the conversation to explore whether America is heading toward a return to top-down government or embracing policies that promote secure borders, safe communities, and real economic growth. We discuss the plan to improving Ohio in 2026.

 Or listen here on Spotify

Key Takeaways:

  • Near-zero border crossings are being achieved but voters don't know about them
    • Significant policy wins are failing to reach public awareness, creating a disconnect between results and political credit
  • Ohio residents are fleeing to low-tax states despite recent tax cuts
    • The $1,500 tax cut isn't enough to compete with other states' tax environments, indicating structural competitiveness issues remain
  • Incoming Governor Ramaswamy's "abundance mindset" on energy could reshape Ohio's economy
    • Leveraging natural resources through pro-growth energy policies is positioned as a transformative opportunity distinct from traditional spending-cut approaches

Follow Eric on X - @TheEric42

Ohio is drowning in local government. Thousands of townships, cities, boards, and commissions—each with their own offices, taxes, and lobbyists—are weighing us down. We’re told this makes government “closer to the people.” But here’s the truth: too much local government just means more bureaucracy, more red tape, and less accountability.

State Director Donovan O'Neil will pull back the curtain on how Ohio’s tangled web of local government keeps us stuck in the middle of the Midwest—and how we can fix it. If we want to make Ohio the best state in the nation, we need to shrink the mess, cut the red tape, and put power back where it belongs—with the people, not the bureaucrats.
