Ohio Chamber of Commerce announces endorsement of three candidates for Ohio Supreme Court. The political action committee of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Chief Justice Moyer for election to a fourth term, and for the election of appointed Justice Terrence O'Donnell and Appellate Judge Judith Lanzinger.
The Chamber is of the opinion that the elections of these three judges will secure for all Ohioans a fair and balanced Supreme Court. As noted in previous AMC/NOMA publications, Justice O'Donnell faces opposition in the fall election from Appellate Judge William O'Neill, while Judge Nancy Fuerst of Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court opposes Judge Lanzinger.
The November 2 election marks only the fourth time in the last 54 years that a majority of the seven-member court will be chosen at one time. Four seats on the court also were filled in the general elections of 1950, 1964, and 1970.
Note: The AMC/NOMA political action committee - NOMPAC has already announced its endorsement of Chief Justice Moyer and the election of appointed Justice Terrence O'Donnell and Appellate Judge Judith Lanzinger.
