March 21, 20241 yr Author One Butler County incumbent falls, two others advance in GOP races for state seats In a low-turnout election — fewer than 20% of registered voters participated Tuesday — Butler County voters in the 47th Ohio House District said they wanted someone new in Columbus. That will either be local pastor Diane Mullins, a Hanover Twp. resident who beat incumbent Rep. Sara Carruthers earning 53.1% of the final unofficial votes Tuesday for the GOP nomination, or Vanessa Cummings, an Oxford Twp. business owner and pastor who was uncontested in the Democratic Party's primary. ... Butler County Democratic Party Executive Chair Kathy Wyenandt said Tuesday's election was driven by a hotly contested U.S. Senate Republican primary. "We saw the MAGA extremist wing of the Republican Party winning in key primary races in Butler County and around the state, continuing the takeover of the remnants of the GOP," she said. "There is so much at stake in 2024, from protecting reproductive freedom to fighting for Ohio workers to defending our democracy, and I am confident that our slate of Democratic candidates will put people first and work to move Butler County and the rest of Ohio forward."
