Trump-backed candidate tapped to head Ohio Republican Party

Associated Press  

COLUMBUS, Ohio — An experienced campaigner for former President Donald Trump and top Ohio Republicans took the helm of the state party Friday, pledging to strengthen the party’s performance in Democrat-heavy urban counties headed into the 2022 elections. “I don’t have extensive tentacles with family members and multiple organizations and multiple campaigns going back to the beginning of time.” Becker may have been referring to the fact that Paduchik made calls in support of House Bill 6, a $1 billion nuclear bailout bill now at the center of the largest federal racketeering case in state history, telling state lawmakers Trump wanted the now-tainted legislation to pass. Dave Johnson, the committee member who nominated Paduchik, lauded his skill, character and qualifications — and said he can unite the party ahead of “the most challenging set of elections that we have seen in a decade or more.” Johnson cited Paduchik’s work electing Presidents Trump and George W. Bush, Govs. The former state treasurer attacked DeWine’s efforts to counter the COVID-19 virus outbreak as “authoritarian” and unconstitutional and called DeWine a “RINO,” or Republican in name only.
