At last night's endorsement meeting, the following received the party's blessing:U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH-01); Common Pleas Court Judge Randy Rogers; State reps. William Coley (OH-54) and Courtney Combs (OH-55); and County Area Court Judge Kevin McDonough; Area Court Judge Robert Hendrickson for 12th District Court of Appeals in Middletown; and Clermont County Judge Robert Ringland to a newly added 12th District Court of Appeals post.
More on Judge Hendrickson and the 12th District Court of Appeals in another post...the rest of these endorsements were expected.
The battle for the 53rd District of the Ohio House is going to be interesting. Neither former Middletown commissioner Paul Nenni nor Hanover Twp. trustee Tim Derickson received the 60% needed to capture the endorsement. Another candidate, Joe McAbee, a Fairfield Twp. Trustee who lost re-election yesterday, has since dropped out of the race.
