Ohio Chamber endorses Stratton, O'Connor for SUPCO

August 21st, 2008

From the Chamber:

COLUMBUS, OH: The political action committee of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce (OCCPaC) announces the endorsements of incumbent Ohio Supreme Court Justices Evelyn L. Stratton and Maureen O'Connor.

"Recent national studies show that Ohio's legal climate has dramatically improved since the 1990s", said Andrew E. Doehrel, Ohio Chamber President and CEO. "We went from having an environment in which a majority of the Court would freely legislate from the bench to one that is predictable and fair. Keeping Justices Stratton and O'Connor on the Ohio Supreme Court is essential to our mission of improving Ohio's economy and attracting good jobs for Ohioans."

Doehrel lauded the tremendous experience and community commitment of Justice Evelyn Stratton, pointing specifically to her nine years of work as an attorney, service as a judge on the Franklin County Common Pleas Court and twelve years on the Ohio Supreme Court. "In Justice Stratton, we have a seasoned jurist with a strong commitment to the people of Ohio", he said.

Regarding the Chamber's endorsement of Justice Maureen O'Connor, Doehrel said "she has served Ohio extremely well during her first term on the Court, capitalizing on her experience as an attorney, judge, prosecuting attorney and Ohio's Lt. Governor. We are pleased to endorse her, once again, for Ohio's highest Court."

"These two justices bring balance and fairness to the Ohio Supreme Court. Their commitment to interpreting the law, not making new law from the bench has a positive impact on every aspect of our economy, from the cost of goods and services, to the availability of affordable health care, the quality of education and the cost of running a business. That's why it is important to keep Justices Stratton and O'Connor on the Ohio Supreme Court." Doehrel said.

Founded in 1893, the Ohio Chamber of Commerce is Ohio's largest statewide business advocacy group. The Chamber works to promote and protect the interests of its members – large and small – while building a more favorable business climate.
