The Teamsters union, with a membership of 80,000 in Ohio, is backing state Rep. Jennifer Garrison of Marietta in the race for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state next year.
Garrison “has a long and proven track record advocating on behalf of working families in Ohio,” Roger Insprucker, president of the Ohio Conference of Teamsters, said in a press release on Monday, Aug. 31.
Garrison is running against Franklin County Commissioner Marilyn Brown in the Democratic primary for secretary of state.
On the Republican side, state Sen. Jon Husted of Kettering and Sandra O’Brien, former Ashtabula County auditor, are seeking the nomination.
Incumbent Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is running for the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate race.
