Cordray appears to be next A.G.
By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com ReporterState Treasurer Richard Cordray is projected by the Associated Press to win election as Ohio’s next attorney general, his second elected statewide office in as many years.
Cordray (D-Pleasant Twp.) won 69 percent against former U.S. Attorney Mike Crites (R-Powell) 27 percent. Independent Robert Owens won about 4 percent.
Cordray was elected treasurer in 2006 and previously served as Franklin County treasurer.
A special election for attorney general was held this year after former attorney general Marc Dann (D) resigned in the wake of scandals in May. Cordray won the Democratic nomination in June, while Crites did not officially become the nominee until late August.
The attorney general race was the only statewide race in 2008.
