Columbus Dispatch: For state auditor: Zack Space offers integrity, leadership
(nb: Zack is a friend of mine, and will play a critical roll in Ohio Redistricting as State Auditor)
For state auditor, Ohioans will choose between two small-town attorneys — one a veteran Statehouse insider, skilled in partisan politics and the other an idealist with limited political experience and views that aren’t easily categorized.
For the breath of fresh air that is desperately needed in state government, The Dispatch endorses Democrat Zack Space.
State Rep. Keith Faber, his Republican opponent, has long been at the center of a Statehouse culture that has put partisanship and political power ahead of the interests of most Ohioans.
A former two-term U.S. Congressman from Dover in Tuscarawas County, Space has re-entered politics after losing his congressional re-election race in the 2010 tea party wave because he hopes to counter what he sees as the destructive influence of money in who gets elected and how policies are set.
“There’s a loss of faith and confidence in government and it is justified,” Space declares. “It’s not fair, honest and rational, and everybody knows it.”
