Household Still Runs For Office

The race in the rural Ohio district of disgraced ex-Ohio House Speaker, Larry Householder now includes four write-in candidates…attempting to unseat the once-powerful politician, who has refused to step aside from his reelection bid despite facing charges in a $60 million bribery scheme. He is the only candidate listed on the ballot, having fielded no Democratic challenger. While each candidate has different policy plans for the district, all of them agreed the district’s residents deserve ethical representation in the Ohio House in the wake of Householder’s arrest and indictment. All the candidates have also said they support a repeal of House Bill 6, the nuclear bailout bill at the center of the federal investigation that led to Householder’s ouster.
