Ohio is expected to star in this year's big races for state supreme court seatsTerri Jamison, Democratic candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court, speaks during a candidates forum sponsored by the Arab American Voter Project and the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Cleveland, Wednesday, March 6, 2024. Jamison is currently an Ohio Court of Appeals Judge.
Democrats will be defending two seats on the Ohio court this year, while a third is open. Only the open seat, where two Democrats are campaigning for the right to face a Republican judge in November, has a competitive primary. “We just passed an amendment that says we’re not going to be able to have abortion restrictions prior to viability," said Baer, who served on the board for Protect Women Ohio, the Issue 1 opposition campaign. “But are you going to see judges take this amendment and try to jam a California agenda onto Ohioans?”
He said the races began to gain greater attention after the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision that ended the constitutional right to abortion, turning the issue back to the states. The one contested primary in Tuesday's election features two Democrats, 8th District Court of Appeals Judge Lisa Forbes and Judge Terri Jamison, a 10th District Court of Appeals judge who ran and lost two years ago. The winner will face Republican Dan Hawkins, a judge on the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, for the one open seat.
