Ohio: Mark Noble

Libertarian says he didn't draw votes from Kilroy, Stivers

By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

While no one knows whether Steve Stivers or Mary Jo Kilroy has won the race for the 15th Congressional District, it’s clear that libertarian Mark Noble did better than expected.

Noble won almost 5 percent – or more than 13,000 votes – on Election Day. The last pre-election poll for the race showed Noble with 2 percent support. With about 400 votes separating Stivers (R-Columbus) and Kilroy (D-Columbus), one wonders if some of Noble’s supporters would have voted for either of the major-party candidates had he not run.

Attorney general campaign updates

By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

Two items worth noting today about Ohio's only statewide race this year: attorney general.

First, Democratic attorney general nominee and state Treasurer Richard Cordray said the Ohio Treasury saved $1.25 million this year after a "top to bottom audit" and restructuring.

"We dug deep and rooted out fundamental flaws. From there we trimmed, streamlined and restructured. The result is a leaner, stronger Treasury. We are effectively doing more with less than in years past," Cordray said in a statement.
