Columbus-area attorney John J. Kulewicz will compete as the Democratic nominee against Republican Ohio Auditor Keith Faber in November in an open race for Ohio Attorney General, according to unofficial results Tuesday, the Associated Press has projected.
Results will remain unofficial until they are certified by election officials later this month.
In the Democratic primary, Kulewicz defeated former state Rep. Elliot Forhan.
“You have chosen a lawyer who is ready to restore the office of Attorney General to the people of Ohio,” Kulewicz said at an Ohio Democratic Party event after the race was called.
The Upper Arlington attorney campaigned on Ohio’s need for a lawyer in the Attorney General’s Office, instead of a politician, and plans to combat “price-fixing monopolies that are raising the prices that we pay for the necessities of our lives,” Kulewicz told the Capital Journal in April.
Kulewicz will now take on current Ohio Auditor Keith Faber for the job in the Nov. 3 general election.
