Ohio Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Brunner
The first candidate has announced her bid to be the next Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court in a race that will be decided in November of 2022. Sitting Justice Jennifer Brunner wants to become the first Democrat elected to the office in 40 years.
Brunner says she's running for chief justice because it's an opportunity to set the course for the Ohio Supreme Court.
The former secretary of state and appeals judge says she would like the court to be open to more cases, examine racial justice in the judicial system, and take a more proactive role.
