I enjoy every opportunity to speak to the citizens of Ohio.
Whether they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents — they all want a Supreme Court that will apply the law to the facts of the case correctly and won’t legislate from the bench to achieve a desired result.

Almost any time our Republican-backed opponents have to answer tough questions, meet us face to face, or debate the law in public - they are nowhere to be found. Our feelings are starting to get a little hurt!

My opponent may dismiss abortion as a major issue, but Ohioans know better. Your rights are on the line this election. The future of the Reproductive Freedom Amendment is in the hands of the Ohio Supreme Court. I’m committed to fairly and impartially interpreting it.

The public understands when courts cross the line by redefining words and legislating from the bench. Whenever this occurs, it will threaten public confidence in our courts.

In 2024, many will be focused on the Presidential Election.
But here in Ohio, Democracy is on the line.
We have a chance to do something special — to protect it.

3 years ago, the supermajority in the Ohio Legislature passed a bill adding partisan labels to the Supreme Court ballot.
They put ambition over fairness.
Now, we have a chance to right the ship. This race isn’t about an (R) or a (D).
It’s about Independent Justice.

In 1992, Marcia Fudge hired me at the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office.
She helped kickstart my law — and subsequently judicial — career.
Tonight, I was lucky enough to reconnect with her.

The right to a jury is guaranteed by both the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Ohio.
When judges restrict your rights — by redefining words and legislating from the bench — the public loses confidence in our justice system.

The majority decision in the wing case made Ohio a laughingstock around the globe. But what happened to Michael Berkhiemer was no joke, that’s why I voted to give him his day in court. You can always trust me to apply the law equally to all and never cater to special interests.

This is Raymond Towler.
In 1981, he was convicted for rape & kidnapping. He spent 29 long years in prison.
Finally, DNA testing proved his innocence in 2010.
29 years for a crime he didn’t commit.
Ray knows I’ll fight for transparency. That’s why he’s with me this election.

It's true. Today, some people who commit serious crimes like rape are offered plea bargains that allow them to plead guilty to lesser offenses that have nothing to do with rape.
That's why I've been fighting to outlaw dangerous, factually baseless pleas.

Labor unions have been at the forefront of the fight for workers' rights, safer working conditions, fair wages, and more. The Ohio Supreme Court is crucial to union and workers’ rights. We need to elect justices who fairly apply the law, not rewrite it for corporate interests.

From my dissent:
Does anyone believe that the parents in this country who feed their children boneless wings or chicken tenders...expect bones to be in the chicken?
Of course they don’t. When they read “boneless,” they think that it means “without bones” as do all sensible people

It may seem unbelievable but it is the truth. In the absence of data judicial decision making in Ohio is extremely susceptible to implicit bias & a persons life can be altered by a Judge’s mood. We can correct this problem though the creation of a centralized sentencing database.
After last night's Guardians win today has got to be one of the best days in history to have a sentencing scheduled in a Northeast Ohio court
