Ohio Federated Republican Women
OFRW supports Faber,
DeGenaro and Baldwin
GOP women attend Darke County Lincoln Day Dinner
BRADFORD, OHIO ─ Members from seven Federated Republican Women’s clubs
recently attended the Lincoln Day Dinner sponsored by the Darke County
Republican Party. The event was held at the Stillwater Golf Course. The
Clubs are all federated through the National Federation of Republican
Women (NFRW) and are members of the Ohio Federation of Republican Women
(OFRW).
OFRW members were there in support of the Republican Party and
Republicans who are running for statewide election to executive offices
and judicial positions. Those Republicans in attendance who are
unopposed in the upcoming May 8 primary election are Keith Faber for
Ohio Auditor of State, Justice Mary DeGenaro and Judge Craig Baldwin
for Ohio Supreme Court. All three have been endorsed by the OFRW.
In the race for auditor, Faber sounded a warning shot for bureaucrats
and politicians who frivolously spend the public’s money. “Look, I have
no sympathy for elected officials who are not doing their jobs. I have
even less sympathy for elected officials who are abusing their job.”
Faber has served Darke County as Ohio State Representative and Ohio
State Senator. He and his family live in Celina.
In her view of service to the Supreme Court of Ohio, Justice DeGenaro
states, “I will work diligently, fairly, and collegially with the other
justices on the Court. And I will do my part to make sure the public
continues to have confidence in their Supreme Court.”
Justice DeGenaro served nearly 17 years as a judge on the Seventh
District Court of Appeals in Youngstown prior to her Supreme Court
appointment. The appointed term ends Jan. 1, 2019 for a seat up for
election in November 2018.She and her husband live in Poland.
Judge Baldwin explained his view regarding proper functioning of
the court system, by stating he wants to be a state elected justice to
help set the standard for how judges should lead, "We are to interpret
the law and not make the law," he said. "We should let the legislators
make the law."
Judge Baldwin has served on Ohio’s Fifth District Court of Appeals
since 2013. He lives with his family in Licking County.
Members of the OFRW in attendance were from Canfield Republican Women’s
Club (CRWC), Champaign County Republican Women’s Club (CCRWC), Darke
County Republican Women’s Club (DCRWC), emPOWERED Republican Women
(eRW), Greater Dayton Women’s Republican Club (GDRWC), The Miami County
Republican Women’s Club TMCRWC), and Preble County Republican Women’s
Club (PCRWC). OFRW officers in attendance were First Vice
President Mary Beth Kemmer (TMCRWC), District 7 Vice President Robin
Dodge (GDWRC) and Immediate Past President Lyn Bliss (eRW),
“What a wonderful evening to share with our Republicans running for
office,” stated Bliss, a Darke County resident. “Events like this give
the voters a chance to personally meet and evaluate those Republicans
who wish to serve. That is an invaluable tool for decision making prior
to voting.”
Featured speaker for the event was J.D. Vance, author of “Hillbilly
Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis”.
Congressman Warren Davidson (OH-08) was provided a brief update on work
being done in the United States House of Representatives.
