The race for the Ohio Treasurer for the Republican Party has begun, with two Republicans vying for the party nomination in the May 4 primary. The candidates focus on financial experience and smart investments to grow the state's coffers. The unclaimed funds account, pledged to be used to fund a new stadium for the Cleveland Browns, has been blocked by a Franklin County Court of Common Pleas judge. The issue has become more complicated as venue owners across Ohio have asked the state to support their efforts. Republican state Sen. Kristina Roegner announced her intention to run for the treasurer’s seat after serving a second term in the Ohio Senate. She plans to keep up the goals of previous treasurers, focusing on financial discipline and a conservative approach to managing the state’�s funds.
