Governor:
For the first time in anyone's memory, Ohio gun owners are going to have a strong pro-gun supporter at the top of both sides of the ticket in November. Both Republican Ken Blackwell and Democrat Ted Strickland were endorsed by Buckeye Firearms Association in their respective primaries, and both men won their respective primaries by double-digits.

Treasurer of State:
In what is no doubt the upset of the election, Buckeye Firearms Association-endorsee Sandra O'Brien won the Republican primary race for state Treasurer. In its coverage of the upset, the Columbus Dispatch notes that O’Brien, a former teacher serving her third term as county auditor, touted her support of gun rights in contrast to Bradley’s position. This races proves that grassroots activism can overcome a lot when you have a good candidate.

Attorney General:
In the Attorney General's race this November, voters will chose between Democrat Marc Dann, a Buckeye Firearms Association endorsee, and anti-self-defense candidate Betty Montgomery.

U.S. Congress:
In U.S. Congressional races, Buckeye Firearms Association-endorsees Jean Schmidt (CD02) and Jim Jordan (CD04) won their Republican primaries. Another strong pro-gun candidate, Chuck Blasdell, will represent the GOP for CD06 this November.

U.S. Senate:

Tuesday May 2 is Election Day in Ohio, and the forecast for everywhere in the state is for rain. The Secretary of State's office is already projecting just a 25% turnout, and if poor weather further dampens those numbers, die-hard gun owners who Vote Freedom First will be able to have an even bigger impact on election results.
