Mary Taylor Announces Her Bid for Re-Election as Ohio’s Auditor

Since being elected in 2006, my office has worked diligently to provide the taxpayers of Ohio with the professionalism and efficiency they deserve from their Auditor.

In that time, we have made measurable progress in providing Ohioans protection from government fraud and wasteful spending of their hard earned tax dollars.

But there is more work to be done- and I plan to finish the job.

With Ohio facing a future budget hole unlike any in our State’s history, it is imperative we hold all of our state and local governments accountable.

I am running for re-election as your Auditor of State to continue the progress we have made in providing Ohio taxpayers with a more accountable and affordable government.

As your Auditor of State, I will continue to be Ohio’s Taxpayer Watchdog, making sure your tax dollars count. I will continue to investigate allegations of public corruption and fraud and hold the perpetrators accountable. I will continue to work with the school districts responsible for educating our children to help make sure they are functional and efficient.

These are just a few of my priorities, and I trust they are what you expect from your State Auditor.

I look forward to working with you and every Ohioan to return our State to an era of prosperity and promise.

Sincerely,

Mary Taylor

Josh Mandel Announces His Candidacy for State Treasurer

I wanted to let you know that I have announced my decision to run for State Treasurer in the 2010 election.

I decided to run for Treasurer after spending many months on the road, traveling to all corners of Ohio and accumulating over 30,000 miles on my car. Time and time again, I heard the same message from folks throughout the state: they are frustrated that while our economy is hurting and families are tightening their belts, our government continues to over-spend.

I believe that, to change the direction of our state, we need new leaders who believe in good old-fashioned values like honesty, hard work and fiscal responsibility. I learned these timeless values from my family and they were reinforced in me by the Marine Corps. I have carried them with me throughout my life, and I will work day and night to honor them in my service to you as State Treasurer.

My most important duty as Treasurer will be to protect the hard-earned dollars of every Ohioan. I have a proven record of standing up for Ohio’s taxpayers, including spearheading one of the only municipal tax rollbacks in the State’s history as a City Councilman. As State Representative, I helped reform the investment oversight structure for the scandal-ridden Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.

I began my previous campaigns for office by campaigning door-to-door in lake-effect snow storms and by promising my supporters that I will never be outworked. My strategy for this race is no different – I promise to run a high-energy grassroots campaign, utilizing technology and engaging the young and the old alike. I hope you will consider joining our team today by making a contribution, signing up to volunteer, or by forwarding this message to your friends.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Josh Mandel
