Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose received boos from a crowd at an event this week while speaking about his stance on abortion.
"What we're talking about is preventing any series of things from coming to Ohio, that have been talked about. It's not just this radical abortion amendment that we're looking at in November," the Republican said, prompting many in the crowd to boo and jeer.
Later in the event, LaRose said: "In the work that I do as Secretary of State, I wear the referee's jersey. I'm completely unbiased in how we call those..." He was once again met with jeers and laughter from the crowd.
LaRose's comments and the response from the crowd came shortly after his office announced that a proposed amendment that seeks to guarantee abortion access in the state had received enough signatures to be voted on in November.
Democrats have been wasting no time tying Issue 1 around LaRose’s neck:
Also, he’s really not good at his current job:
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose violated federal election laws by illegally running a campaign without registering as a candidate, a new complaint filed by a Cleveland-area Republican alleges.
Being held accountable isn't partisan — at least, that's what lifelong Cleveland Republican Ralph King believes.
"This isn't about left or right," King told News 5. "This is about right or wrong."
He filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, claiming LaRose has been raising funds as a U.S. Senate candidate without officially filing.
"If anybody's supposed to know the rules of campaign financing and what candidates are allowed to do and not allowed to do, it should be Frank LaRose," he said about Ohio's chief of elections.
LaRose filed to run for U.S. Senate in July, but the complaint cites fundraisers months before that.
