CCPC Endorsement Vote for Governor and U.S. Senate
If you have already cast your ballot please disregard this section and scroll on down.
All CCPC endorsements are determined by a vote by you, our membership. If multiple candidates in a race are seeking our endorsement the vote is between the candidates with no endorsement also being on the ballot. If only one candidate is seeking our endorsement in a race, membership votes to approve or disapprove the endorsement. Two candidates, former Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley and former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley are seeking the CCPC endorsement for Ohio Governor. One candidate, Morgan Harper is seeking the CCPC endorsement for the U.S. Senate. A two – thirds threshold is needed for any endorsement to occur.
