MUNICIPAL PRIMARY - MAY 20th

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CANDIDATES

​​​​​CANDIDATES: If you are a registered republican running for office and would like to offer a brief bio, please email us at countygopfranklin@gmail.com with your contact information and bio.  The purpose will be to inform voters.  Let voters know which office you are seeking, why you are running, your background and why you are a good candidate. Be as brief as possible.  We reserve the right to limit information as we deem necessary.  Sharing here does not indicate endorsement by the Franklin County Republican Committee.  We seek to help voters know who the candidates are, share information and confirm Republican registration.

Some of the information in this section was compiled using hand written public records.  Errors are possible.  Sample Ballots, issued by the County Election Office, should be referenced for the official list of candidates.  That link is available above.


JUDICIAL CANDIDATES
TH​ESE JUDICIAL SEATS WILL BE ON THE PRIMARY BALLOT IN MAY. 
JUDICIARY RETENTION VOTES WILL BE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT.  MORE INFO FOLLOWING THE PRIMARY.
