Strickland maintains $2M campaign cash edge over Kasich
Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland continues to have a campaign cash edge of about $2 million over his Republican challenger John Kasich, according to post-primary campaign finance reports filed on Friday, June 11.
Strickland had nearly $7.7 million in cash on hand through June 4, while Kasich, a former Columbus-area U.S. House member, had about $5.7 million.
Strickland raised slightly more during the reporting period - April 15 to June 4 - than Kasich, $1.31 million to about $1.28 million.
Strickland also had an edge of about $2 million over Kasich when the pre-primary reports were filed on April 22.

Ned, Strickland has an idiot leading ODE and neither of them have any interest in seperating funding from property values. Strickland has spent more time on the casino legislation than education funding issues. Signing a budget reducing state contributions to districts while he, and Delisle, send out countless press releases about ‘testing’ is irresponsible. If Kasich wants an ‘edge’ in this race he only has to point to Ohio’s non-compliance with its own Supreme Court order to decrease, NOT INCREASE, reliance on property value for school funding. At the very least, Strickland should fire Delisle and revamp the State Board and its authority to obey the Supreme Court decision.

Does anyone know when the Governor is planning on fixing the school funding problem? He promised 4 years ago that this would be his top priority. What happened???

All this cash on hand while school districts have budget deficits…..the people who donate funds at this level are either making a business investment in the candidate, or, cannot complain about the Ohio deficit while this much money is spent to assume a job requiring fiscal management. Both candidates need to get a grip and stop going deer hunting with ICBM’s.

Kasich better get his message and his plan out there if he wants people to know what he’s about. I think Strickland can be beat, but if there isn’t anything known about Kasich, people wont vote for him. Mickey Mouse could run and I’d vote for him, because there is no way Strickland is getting my vote.

Strickland is a do nothing slug but based upon those campaign ads that Kasich is running - it’s obvious that he would be a disgrace as governor.

Can you believe those insane attack commercials that Kasich is running? Those are the weakest, most worthless ads I’ve ever seen! I’d demand my campaign funds back!!!!
By tired of it.
