Ohio House Speaker loses campaign fund control
Franklin County judge barred Republican Speaker Jason Stephens from directing the Ohio House campaign fund amid intraparty feuding ahead of November elections. The injunction grants Plummer control of the Ohio House Republican Alliance while Merrin’s faction pursues further action. The dispute centers on fund leadership after Stephens relied on Democratic votes to win the speakership, with a trial set for October.
