Last week, Supreme Court hopeful Dan Hawkins, the first of what will likely be many statewide candidates for office, visited Lawrence County.

In coming months, it is our hope that those seeking office make every effort possible to visit Lawrence County and hear about our issues.

This fall, we will be assembling an election guide, as we always do, and will include statewide candidates, as we started in 2022.

In the time between now and then, we would like to hear from you.

Let us know what you think are the most pressing issues in Ohio and what questions you would like us to have for those running.

It is our hope that we can provide comprehensive information and create a better informed electorate through these efforts.
