Candidates for appeals court, state representative can remain on ballot

The Supreme Court of Ohio decided this week that candidates for state representative and for an appellate court may remain on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.

The Supreme Court turned away a challenge to the nomination of Caleb Stidham for Ohio House of Representatives District 89. Stidham was selected as the Republican Party’s replacement for D.J. Swearingen, who won the primary election before withdrawing from the race in August. The Court also rejected a challenge to Judge Nathan Manning's candidacy for a Ninth District Court of Appeals seat, which became vacant when Judge Donna Carr announced her retirement.
