Over a lifetime, many of those who know me have been stunned to discover that I was “stranded,” especially with a broken down car.

COLUMBUS—Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose issued the following statement on Monday, September 16 following the Supreme Court of Ohio’s decision on a lawsuit challenging the Ballot Board’s approved summary of State Issue 1: “This decision is a huge win for Ohio voters, who deserve an honest explanation of what they’re being asked to decide,” said LaRose.
COUMBUS — Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose released the following statement on the sentencing of William Curlis, who was previously charged in federal court with wire fraud after an investigation assisted by the Ohio Secretary of State’s office of Public Integrity found he had stolen nearly $1 million from campaign accounts: “I’m glad justice has been served in this case, but I’m disappointed in the sentence compared to the crimes this person committed,” said Secretary LaRose. “The sentence sends a message that you can willfully defraud victims and get away with a relative slap on the wrist. Hundreds of Ohioans had their money stolen by a greedy con artist, and the Public Integrity Division of my office worked hard to assist with his conviction. The penalty falls short of the crime on this one, but we’ll continue to enforce the law and hope that future convictions serve as a stronger deterrent to election- related crime.”

I’ll never forget the quiet afternoon in our open rural setting when I was dragging the garbage can to the side of the road. It was a gray day in the open countryside where we were living at the time, with total quiet all around.
