Today, standing with supporters and family at a press conference at the Ohio Statehouse, Franklin County Probate Court Judge Eric Brown announced his candidacy for Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. Judge Brown was introduced by Governor Ted Strickland.

“For the Ohio Supreme Court to be effective, it needs an effective Chief Justice like Judge Brown,” said Governor Ted Strickland. “I asked Judge Brown to run for Chief Justice because he has both the legal scholarship and the management experience needed to lead the Court. From his days as a school board president, to his years as a small businessman, to his tenure in the Attorney General’s office and as a judge, Eric Brown has the skills and life experience necessary to be Ohio’s next Chief Justice.”
