KEY RACE FOR REDISTRICTING: Zack Space for Ohio State Auditor

Zack Space was born and raised in the small eastern Ohio town of Dover. After graduating from Kenyon College, then earning a law degree at The Ohio State University, he returned to Dover and practiced law for nearly 20 years, during which time he served as a Public Defender and as Dover’s City Law Director. In 2006, he was elected to serve as the Congressman from Ohio’s 18th District, comprising 16 counties in rural southeastern Ohio.

During his tenure in Congress, Zack championed working class Ohioans, and was instrumental in bringing broadband technology, employment opportunities, and infrastructure improvements to his district. Upon leaving Congress in 2011, Zack joined the prestigious Columbus law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour, and Pease where he worked with local governments, charitable organizations, and the private sector to promote economic development across Ohio.

Zack is running to serve as Ohio’s next Auditor of State, where he will use the broad power of the office to deliver much needed reform to state government. Zack is committed to shining a light on the corruptive influence of money in politics, ending extreme partisan gerrymandering, and serving as a watchdog for hardworking Ohio families.

(...he stayed at our house when he was first running for Congress). Intelligent, committed to voting rights, and able to successfully campaign in the more conservative parts of Ohio.

If I'm remembering this correctly, the re-drawn district are null and void, so the candidates have no districts to run in.
