Pat Dewine vying for open state Supreme Court seat

A candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court spent part of Wednesday visiting northwest Ohio. Pat DeWine — son of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, is a first-term judge on Ohio’s 1st District Court of Appeals in Cincinnati and former Hamilton County Common Pleas Court judge. He is one of two candidates seeking the seat to be vacated by Justice Judith Lanzinger, who is stepping down due to mandatory age limitations because she turned 70 this year. Dewine met with potential voters in Toledo at the Wauseon Rotary Club lunch event and met with Republicans in Defiance at a local law office.
