Click thanks voters for reelection, slams 'gutter politics'

Republican incumbent State Rep. Gary Click, R-Vickery, won reelection to the 88 th District for a fourth term. Click said that he attributes his win to “honesty, integrity and hard work.” Click won 21,750 votes (58.57%) to beat Democratic Party opponent Aaron Jones, who received 15,386 votes (41.43%). “I think this election has been different, and it’s been different from all the other three because all the other three were policy-based, and we won on the issues,” Click said. “This election, they didn’t just throw the kitchen sink — they threw the slime that went down the sewers at me. It was disgusting. I think the personal attacks and the personal smears were unnecessary, uncalled for, they were despicable, and the people saw through that, and they failed to give my opponent a victory because they know the difference between the truth and a lie.” The 88 th District includes Sandusky County and Seneca County. Within Sandusky County, Click received 12,879 votes (57.95%), to the 9,345 votes (42.05%) received by Jones. Click was very upset about a campaign that ignored his record, calling it “gutter politics,” that included dark money from Chicago. However, he also said that his record was

Parts of the war came home

OTTAWA COUNTY – When a military service member serves in a combat zone, they make untold and unexpected sacrifices, and those sacrifices don’t stop when they step off the battlefield. Soldiers and siblings, Tabby and Jeremy Mowel, who fought in the war zones of Iraq, still feel the sacrifices in their minds and bodies. Their parents, Dave and Marcella Mowel, were permanently changed by their children’s service because the families suffer and sacrifice, too.

Marcy Kaptur wins 23rd term in Toledo-area congressional district

Democratic U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, the longest-serving woman in congressional history, won a 23rd term in a rematch against former Republican State Rep. Derek Merrin, according to CNN and NBC News. The race was called early Nov. 4 with Kaptur leading, 53%-47%. Results were very slow to come in due to issues in Lucas County. This is the second time Kaptur and Merrin squared off for control of the Northwest Ohio 9th Congressional District. Kaptur beat Merrin by fewer than 2,400 votes in 2024, according to Ohio Secretary of State election results. "This election is about the next generation," Kaptur said at an Election Night rally, before the crowd erupted into chants of "USA" and "Kaptur." Why the wait in Lucas County? Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz posted on Facebook, asking why Lucas County had not yet reported its unofficial election results. "Hey The Lucas County Board of Elections , 87 of Ohio’s 88 counties have managed to report election results tonight. Should we be checking the fax machine, smoke signals, or the carrier pigeons?" the mayor wrote. As of 12:30 a.m., he was right. The Secretary of State website listed Lucas County as the only county in Ohio that hadn't
