OSCPA announces CPA Preferred Candidates for Ohio House & Senate
Written on Oct 13, 2022
OSCPA staff report
As trusted advisers to Ohio’s business community and in fulfillment of their obligation to uphold the public interest, members of The Ohio Society of CPAs have had a longstanding and time-tested process for assessing candidates for statewide office in Ohio. We recognize that our state’s business leaders and citizens look to us to apply a considered and reasoned approach in evaluating candidates who support policies and positions that lead to a stable regulatory environment, a competitive business climate, and a strong economy.
OSCPA’s selection committee evaluates candidates for elected office in our state and identifies those individuals who adhere to the following foundational elements of building a stronger Ohio:
• Advancing competitive tax and economic policies.
• Fostering a strong and stable business and regulatory environment.
• Working to build a diverse, inclusive, and equitable policy climate.
• Committing to growing and maintaining a vibrant, highly skilled workforce.
If you aren’t sure who your Ohio Senate and Ohio House candidates are, go to your local board of elections website to see a sample ballot. Remember that redistricting occurred earlier this year, which means that district lines have changed in many parts of the state. So, the person you voted for in the past might not be the person on your ballot this year. Many of these races are toss-ups, so be sure to vote on or before Nov. 8!
