Brown drops out of Secretary of State race

By Laura Bischoff | Thursday, October 1, 2009, 12:15 PM

Franklin County Commissioner Marilyn Brown, a Democrat, announced Thursday, Oct. 1, that she is dropping out of the race for secretary of state and seeking re-election at the county level.

That leaves state Rep. Jennifer Garrison, D-Marietta, as the likely Democratic party nominee in the 2010 race.

On the Republican side, state Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, faces a primary challenge from former Ashtabula County auditor Sandra O’Brien. O’Brien knocked out incumbent state treasurer Jennette Bradley in a GOP primary in 2006 but lost in the general election.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, also a Democrat, is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican George Voinovich. Brunner faces a primary challenge from Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher.
