OFCC PAC endorses Allen Roy (R) for House 47

OFCC PAC is proud to endorse Allen Roy's campaign to become the next Ohio House Representative in Toledo's District 47.

Roy is committed to being a strong advocate for Conceal Carry Reform and self-defense rights in the Ohio House.

OFCC PAC believes his election will ensure continued strong support for Ohio CCW initiatives in the House.

Roy's opponent is a Toledo city councilman. He led the fight to ban handguns in Toledo and currently has his sights on banning rifles in the city as well. Alarmingly, he says he wants to take his "vision" to the State House.

All indications point to this as a very close race, where doing a little can help a lot!

Gov. Taft widens lead over challenger

According to poll results, published Monday by The Columbus Dispatch, Gov. Bob Taft has widened his lead in his bid for re-election. Taft, a Republican, was favored by 51 percent of those questioned. Tim Hagan, his Democratic opponent Nov. 5, was supported by 40 percent, with 2 percent for independent John Eastman and 7 percent saying they didn't know who they'd vote for.

OFCC PAC Commentary:
While stretching the lead from 8 pts. to 11 is an accomplishment, this is still an unbelievably tight race. Judging by money and name recognition alone, this should be a 25pt. spread.

Voters are obviously showing signs of displeasure in Taft, but fortunately more and more seem to realize that the alternative is a far worse option.

KEY RACE: O'Connor opens 17 pt. lead against challenger

OFCC PAC Commentary:
The battle for the undecideds is expected to become intense in the final weeks of this race. According to a recent report, the Democrat party bolstered the campaign treasury of Supreme Court candidate Janet Burnside by $65,000 in September.

KEY RACE: Poll shows Stratton-Burnside race dead heat

The tightest statewide race of the fall campaign appears to be between an incumbent Ohio Supreme Court justice and her challenger, according to a newspaper poll.

The poll results, published Monday by The Columbus Dispatch, show the race between Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton and Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Janet Burnside to be a virtual tie.

Burnside's edge over Stratton was 25 percent to 23 percent -- just within the mail survey's 2.6 percentage-point margin of sampling error.

More than half of the respondents said they are undecided in the Stratton-Burnside matchup.
