Early TV blitz signals heated Ohio election campaign
The Ohio GOP began an aggressive airtime push with news update style ads about Democratic indictments, while state Democrats countered that the spots mimic news reports. Republicans say Democrats have not disputed any facts aired. Also in local politics, North Ridgeville eyes a $15 million soccer complex, with Mayor Floyd Peace noting Crain's Cleveland Business may publish a piece, though no firm date was given. The Lorain County Young Democrats hosted a corn roast fundraiser drawing about 400 attendees, aiming for 500 next year.
