2022 race could prove complicated for Ohio Democrats
At least two justices on the Ohio Supreme Court are eyeing the chief justice position and plan to campaign for the top judicial seat in 2022.
Democrat Jennifer Brunner and Republican Patrick DeWine are planning to run for chief justice next year. These two, and potentially another Republican on the court, want to replace the sitting Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor.
O’Connor, a Republican, is barred from running for another term. Ohio’s age limitation law restricts judges from campaigning for reelection after turning 70 years old.
This age limit rule may play a factor in the upcoming chief justice election. Complicating things further is the overall judicial landscape in Ohio that could hurt Democrats’ standing on the court even if Brunner or another Democrat wins the top spot.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Supreme County on Monday sided with a county elections board in a dispute over the purchase of voting machines tied to unfounded allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
At issue before the high court was a rift between the bipartisan elections board in Stark County and that northeastern county’s GOP-dominated board of commissioners, involving Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems machines.
Under a 2018 law approved by Ohio lawmakers, “the commissioners must acquire the voting machines selected by the elections board,” the Supreme Court said in a 6-1 ruling.

Ohio medical marijuana regulators must consider a cultivation company s request to expand, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
Akron-based Fire Rock Ltd. sued the Ohio Department of Commerce last year after the agency ignored its expansion request for months. The Ohio Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the agency to make a decision on the request.
Fire Rock sent a letter requesting expansion to Commerce officials in February 2020. On June 24, the agency said it would not approve or deny the request because it had not officially asked for expansion applications.
State rules do not preclude a cultivator from submitting an application on its own, Chief Justice Maureen O Connor wrote in the opinion joined by justices Patrick Fischer, Patrick DeWine, Michael Donnelly, Melody Stewart and Jennifer Brunner. Justice Sharon Kennedy did not participate.
