What Tuesday’s Primary Means to Small Business

Ohio can expect a long campaign season as candidates vie for control of the legislature and Congress.

Ohioans cast their ballots this past Tuesday deciding on a host of state legislative races, a Democratic nominee for the Ohio Supreme Court, several congressional primaries, and the Republican nominee for the US Senate.

With the stage set, Ohio can expect a long general election campaign season with significant amounts of money being spent to decide the control of Congress, particularly on the U.S. Senate seat, as incumbent Sherrod Brown takes on political outsider Bernie Moreno.

Additionally, there will likely be a few ballot issues including a problematic constitutional minimum wage amendment that eliminates the tipped wage.  Finally, three Ohio Supreme Court seats will appear before voters in November to decide the direction of the court as one that shows judicial restraint or legislates from the bench.

NFIB Ohio PAC endorsed in six state legislative primaries and five of the six were successful in their bids, all of whom are dues-paying NFIB members.
