Ohioans Slam LaRose for Sketchy Fundraising, “Campaigning Out of His Office”
June 28, 2023
Ohioans continue to call out Frank LaRose for his sketchy tactics as ethics concerns surround his “shadow campaign” for Ohio’s Senate seat:
- Tribune Chronicle: “It’s unacceptable that LaRose is clearly more focused on running for higher office than on doing the job he was elected to do.”
- The Intelligencer: “To any thinking Ohioan, LaRose is campaigning out of his office… He should know better.”
As Ohioans slam him for focusing more on advancing his own political career than the job he was elected to do, LaRose is refusing to answer how much his latest “screw up” of sending incorrect ballot language to all 88 county Boards of Elections – leaving elections officials to “scramble” and potentially costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars – is costing Ohioans.

Tribune Chronicle: LTE: Sketchy fundraising is a cause for concern

- I agree with the Tribune Chronicle’s editorial that Frank LaRose should “do better than be legal just by a technicality.”
- It’s unacceptable that LaRose is clearly more focused on running for higher office than on doing the job he was elected to do.
- It’s clear LaRose is exploiting loopholes to raise money and is relying on a sketchy organization to fund his search for more power.
- According to the Columbus Dispatch, LaRose’s group can “raise limitless funds in the dark while promoting a potential U.S. Senate bid” and “campaign finance watchdogs say those disclosures are less transparent and accessible.”
- LaRose owes it to Ohioans to stop this sketchy fundraising and to hold himself to a higher standard.
The Intelligencer: Editorial: Confusing Voters in Ohio

- Though an election law expert says Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose technically did not break the law, a letter LaRose sent out recently has some voters confused.
- Perhaps LaRose’s campaign should steer a little further away from “isn’t really illegal.”
- The letter in question included a return address that said “Secretary of State Frank LaRose,” and under that, “DO NOT DISCARD OR DESTROY.” It also included “REGISTERED DOCUMENT ENCLOSED.” One voter told the Capital Journal he was worried the letter had something to do with his voter registration. Instead he found inside a voter poll and request for money for LaRose’s campaign.
- To any thinking Ohioan, LaRose is campaigning out of his office. But according to the letter of the law, what he did is legal. He should know better.
