It's Imperative: Keep the Ohio Supreme Court Conservative in 2020

(Mansfield, Ohio) The Richland County Republican Party held its regular 1^st Monday Luncheon today with Ohio Supreme Court Justice Judith French as its featured speaker.

Justice French, is one of the conservative members of the current Ohio Supreme Court. In 2020 she and Justice Sharon Kennedy, the other conservative justice on the Ohio Supreme Court will both be running for re-election.

In response to a question from the audience Justice French briefly discussed the case in which she won as an attorney working for the State of Ohio before the U.S. Supreme Court.  The case involved the Cleveland School Voucher Program, which allowed kids attending failed Cleveland Schools to attend private schools including parochial schools. Apparently the program was allowed to continue.  

"Judge Judi" mentioned the need for both fundraising and with friend-raising.  Using social media – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. – to get the word out about electing conservative justices for the Ohio Supreme Court would be of great help in reelecting both Justices’ Judi French and Sharon Kennedy.

She also urged members of the audience not to sit out the next election and to do all they can to help to retain herself and fellow—conservative Justice Sharon Kennedy in the November 2020 General Election.

She offered a suggestion– the acrostic – KFC – for remembering for whom to vote for in the November 2020 for the Ohio Supreme Court:

            SHARON KENNEDY
               JUDITH FRENCH
OHIO SUPREMECOURT

Tragically, in 2016 two liberal justices replaced two conservative judges on the Ohio Supreme Court. It was mostly out of ignorance and maybe out of insufficient financial support for the candidate by the GOP. Ohio Supreme Court elections outcomes are often due primarily to name recognition and not so much to judicial philosophy. The party affiliations are not noted on the ballot.  

In Morrow County, a conservative-voting county, the two liberal Democrats won more votes than did the conservative justices on the ballot. This is a big deal. If two more liberal or leftist justices are elected in 2020 the to the Ohio Supreme Court it could be lost to the leftists and it would have tremendous repercussions for religious liberty, the right to life issue, and more.
