Corporate contributions are prohibited. However, partnerships, LLCs and other unincorporated entities may contribute, but must provide the name of an owner to whom to attribute the contribution. Ohio law requires that all contributors must provide their name and address regardless of the amount of the contribution and the name of their employer if the contribution is for more than $100. If the contributor is self employed, the business name and occupation of the contributor must be provided. Ohio law in general prohibits the award of an unbid state contract if contributions to the officeholder from an owner, partner or shareholder of the contracting entity or their spouse have exceeded $1,000 from the person in the two calendar years prior to the award of the contract. State employees are prohibited from donating to the campaign and should disregard this invitation. Contributions to Strickland for Governor are not tax deductible.

After reading a recent column (published in the Hamilton Journal News on Nov. 30) written by Nobel-prize-winner Paul Krugman, Roland Duerksen felt it may be time for some of us to get involved in contacting the media and our elected officials. I recommend reading the column even if you are not inclined to contact anybody. Possible talking points on the issue can be found on our web page “Suggested Talking Points for the Media or Elected Officials“.
