COLUMBUS – Democrat Jennifer Brunner easily won a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court in an election where Republican Donald Trump won the state by 8 percentage points.
Brunner, 63, beat incumbent Justice Judith French, a Republican, by 10 points, 55% to 45%. Her winning map stands out among others in recent years – she won Central Ohio, the counties bordering Lake Erie and the eastern edge of the state, which has become reliably Republican in recent years.
While name recognition likely played a role for the former Ohio secretary of state, she said it was also the relationships she s cultivated around the state that helped her win. When Brunner takes the oath of office Jan. 2, she ll be one of three Democrats on the seven-person court. Just two years ago, the court was 7-0 Republican.
