Ad Text:
In this ad, Jennifer Brunner says, “You know being Chief Justice requires a leader who has the courage to be independent of politics. As a justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, all my decisions have been bipartisan. My judicial philosophy is simple: do a good job as a good public servant should. Our courts must be fair and protect all of our rights. What holds our diverse state together is our values of quiet decency, honesty, fairness, and hard work. As Chief Justice, I will reflect all these values in all I do for us.”
