Last Tuesday’s Primary Election brought many outcomes that were expected, others that were surprising, and others still yet to be determined. For Ohio Chamber PAC (OCCPAC) endorsed can- didates for the Ohio General Assembly, the results were far and away successful. OCCPAC ultimately endorsed 33 total bipartisan and bicameral candidates: 29 candida- tes in the Ohio House and 4 in the Ohio Senate. Of those 33 candidates, 23 emerged victorious Tuesday night, with a win rate of 70% for our Ohio Chamber PAC. Our thanks go out to our PAC Board Chair Steve Tugend, all of the OCCPAC Board members, OCC VP of Political Engagement Adam Rapien, and the entire OCC Government Affairs team for their combined hours of reviewing candidate surveys, interviewing candidates, and their deliberation over endorsements. Congratulations to the following OCCPAC endorsed candidates and incumbents who prevai- led in Tuesday’s Primary Election: • House District 1 – State Rep. Dontavius Jarrells from Franklin County, the Assistant Minority Leader of the Ohio House, captured 100% of the vote following the withdrawal of his primary opponent after our endorsement. • House District 10 – In this Democratic primary in Franklin County, OCCPAC candidate and Grove City Councilman Mark Sigrist holds a 24-vote lead (50.26%) for the open seat being vacated by State Rep. Dave Dobos. The race is still processing outstanding votes and is heading for a recount. • House District 12 – Incumbent State Representative Brian Stewart from Pickaway County, Vice Chair of the Public Health Policy Committee, prevailed with 57.18% of the vote.
