Columbus, OH-  In case you missed it, reporting from the Ohio Capital Journal highlighted how Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose shared an “exclusive announcement” on election integrity with Ohio Right to Life, an extreme anti-abortion group. 

In the video, LaRose describes how elections in Ohio are run- information that should be available to all Ohioans, not shared first with extremist groups that backed his campaign. He’s previously described his role as Secretary of State as an impartial “referee” but this latest move shows he’s anything, but.

And this isn’t the first time LaRose has brought blatantly extreme and partisan activity into the Secretary of State’s office. Last year, he openly admitted that he consulted with Right to Life and other extreme anti-abortion groups to set the ballot language to describe the constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights in Ohio’s constitution. Unsurprisingly, it was biased and inaccurate. 

“We’re less than a month from a historic election and our Secretary of State is spending his time giving exclusives to extreme anti-choice groups,” said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. “At this point, it’s not really surprising that LaRose is more interested in playing politics than serving Ohioans, but voters deserve better from their Secretary of State.
