Robert Owens for Ohio Attorney General 2008
Press Release
Oxford Educated Community Leader, Former Prosecutor Robert Owens formally announces he will run for Ohio Attorney General as an Independent, says he will restore the rule of law over political favoritism
COLUMBUS, OHIO – Delaware County lawyer Robert Owens announced today that he will seek the office of Ohio Attorney General vacated by Democrat Marc Dann. There will be a special election for the office held November 4. Democrat Marc Dann resigned from office in disgrace on May 14 following revelations of a sex and money scandal. The little known Democrat from Youngstown won the office in 2006 as a result of the Republican’s hugely embarrassing “Coingate” scandal that cost Ohio millions of taxpayer dollars and resulted in criminal charges, though not nearly enough jail time for those involved.
Upon filing the necessary petitions to qualify for ballot access, Mr. Owens released the following statement; “There is an inherent conflict between the law and party politics. The Attorney General is the highest law enforcement official in Ohio and has a duty to protect the State and her citizens by upholding the law. That duty is challenged when influenced by the corrupting nature of partisan politics. Corruption is the natural consequence of this conflict. As an independent candidate for Attorney General I will not be bound to powerful special interests or promises of votes that will affect my enforcement of the law. When I say I want to bring integrity to the office, I truly believe the best way to accomplish this is by an independent administrator.”
Mr. Owens was educated at Ohio Wesleyan University, Oxford University (United Kingdom) and Capital University Law School. In his legal career, he clerked for a Federal District Court Judge, worked for one of the largest law firms in Ohio, served as Prosecutor for Sunbury Ohio and now has a private law practice handling criminal and civil matters. Mr. Owens is a long time community leader and activist for pro-American legislation at the Federal, State and Local level. Mr. Owens and his wife Teri have been married for 10 years.
Ohio law makes an independent run for office extremely difficult, nearly impossible. The Owens 2008 campaign is possible because of the more than 1500 grassroots supporters of the Ron Paul “Revolution” throughout the state of Ohio. This community helped make political fundraising history during the Presidential primary season and will be harnessed to make sure that the citizens of Ohio know there is a choice other than the political cronies picked by party bosses later this year.
For more information or to schedule an interview, please call Owens 2008 Campaign HQ at (614) 839-8544 or e-mail info@owens2008.com. A formal press conference will be set within the next week to officially announce the campaign.
