Ohio's new Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, gave the keynote address to the Ohio Association of Election Officials at their winter conference last week. In a candid speech she outlined her policies and procedures for the board of election officials gathered from Ohio's 88 counties.
She spoke with genuine enthusiasm about her relationship to the group and her vision for turning around the negative poster child reputation Ohio has for running elections. Her pillars of measuring that goal are for "free, fair, open, honest elections" in Ohio.
