Precinct Executives and State Central Committee

• State Central Committees have many conservative options

  • Senate 8 has 2 men and 6 women running

  • Senate 9 has 4 men but only 1 women running

• County Central Committee (Precinct Exec)

  • No formal list yet

  • We need solid liberty representatives to have any effect on the local party

State Offices

• Currently too many candidates to defeat DeWine

  • Renacci, Blystone, Keller

• District 29 will have a candidate, Angela Hymer, against Cindy Abrams

• Must get some traction to wrestle control back to the voter from the donor/lobbyist groups
