Today, standing with supporters and family at a press conference at the Ohio Statehouse, Franklin County Probate Court Judge Eric Brown announced his candidacy for Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. Judge Brown was introduced by Governor Ted Strickland.

“For the Ohio Supreme Court to be effective, it needs an effective Chief Justice like Judge Brown,” said Governor Ted Strickland. “I asked Judge Brown to run for Chief Justice because he has both the legal scholarship and the management experience needed to lead the Court. From his days as a school board president, to his years as a small businessman, to his tenure in the Attorney General’s office and as a judge, Eric Brown has the skills and life experience necessary to be Ohio’s next Chief Justice.”

Judge Eric Brown said, “Ohio needs a Chief Justice who brings to the court a viewpoint that challenges the thinking of the other justices. I will add the balance needed so that the court more accurately reflects the people it serves. I will also bring to the court a lifetime of public service, as well as an understanding of the struggles facing ordinary Ohioans and how the law and the courts impact their everyday lives. Regular, hardworking Ohioans deserve a voice at the helm of the Ohio Supreme Court, and I will be that voice.”
