Ohio Supreme Court throws Whitehall city council candidate off November ballot

The Ohio Supreme Court has thrown a Whitehall City Council candidate off the November ballot, saying she does not meet the residency requirements to run. Holly Stein filed a petition in January to run as a candidate for Ward 4 in the November 2025 election, according to court records. The following month, Lori Elmore, a current member of the council, filed an objection and challenged whether Stein had lived in the ward for the two years before the election. Whitehall's city charter requires a council member for any ward to have lived in that ward for "at least two years next preceding their election" and at-large candidates to have lived in the city for two years. Related Whitehall article: Whitehall, council member file Ohio Supreme Court case to remove candidate from ballot Elmore's challenge, court records say, included voting records that showed Stein lived in Licking County through 2023. According to court records, Stein admitted to living in Licking County during 2023 but said that she had resided in Ward 4 between 2019 and 2022, returning in 2024. She argued that living in the ward for two years before the election, even though it was not the immediately preceding two years, qualified her for the ballot. The Franklin County Board of Elections sided with Stein in a 3-1 vote and allowed her to proceed as a candidate. Elmore and the city of Whitehall then asked the Ohio Supreme Court to issue an order barring Stein from appearing on the November 2025 ballot based on the failure to meet the residency requirements. The high court issued a ruling on July 23, siding with the city and removing Stein's name from contention for council. All seven of the court's judges sided with Whitehall and Elmore. Incumbent Devin Brown, who was appointed to the Ward 4 council seat in 2024, remains the only candidate on the November ballot for the seat.

Republican nominee for Virginia governor names new campaign manager

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears is bringing on a new campaign manager as the GOP nominee for Virginia governor seeks to quell concerns about the direction of her campaign ahead of the high-profile off-year election this November. Pennsylvania-based political strategist Corey Barsky will take on the role, CNN has learned. A campaign spokesperson says Barsky will take over for Will Archer, who the campaign announced last week was moving into a different role. Barsky has already been serving as a senior adviser for the campaign. According to his LinkedIn page, he is currently a strategist at the political consulting firm ColdSpark and a 2021 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. The staffing shift comes as Earle-Sears, the state's lieutenant governor, trails her Democratic rival, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, in fundraising and public polling. Spanberger announced last week that her campaign raised $10.7 million in the second quarter, eclipsing the $5.9 million brought in by Earle-Sears. A recent poll by Virginia Commonwealth University found Earle-Sears trailing Spanberger by 12 points, 49% to 37%. Republicans have publicly criticized her fundraising and outreach to donors, including in a Politico magazine story published Wednesday. Core to Earle-Sears election argument is an emphasis on creating jobs and pursuing policies to benefit the working class. She's also leaning on the record of incumbent Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin though her campaign has also noted she cannot self-finance much of her campaign like Youngkin, who had a long business career before entering politics.
