1. Some controversy has sprouted in the State of Ohio Member of State Central Committee – Woman 19 District – Republican primary election. Melanie Leneghan (ML), who currently holds the seat, is running for reelection. Of note, ML is a board member of the Delaware County Board of Elections. A paperwork snafu presented with Rebecca Nourse’s (RN) certification filing to run for the Women’s Republican State Central Committee seat. RN dated her paperwork the day she submitted form 2-L to the election board instead of the day she downloaded the form before obtaining 15 elector signatures on page 2 of the form. Initially, ML recused herself from the issue and the board voted 3-0 to remove RN from the ballot. RN appealed this decision with the board and on reconsideration and a second vote, ML did not recuse herself and the vote deadlocked 2-2 on allowing RN on the 5/5/2026 Republican primary ballot. The matter was referred to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose. In a letter to the Delaware County Board of Elections, Secretary of State LaRose informed the board that they needed to revote the issue sans ML. The vote was 2-1 in RN’s favor. RN has been added to the ballot. A challenge has been made to the Delaware County Election Board regarding ML’s residency status. The board did not have a quorum to address this issue at a 3/5/2026 meeting. ML’s residency status may be headed to court.

2. Praise Jesus!! The U.S. Supreme Court made a major decision affirming parental rights in a 6-3 ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta. This case involved California and gender transitions occurring without parental consent. One California family did not find out until after their daughter had been hospitalized for a suicide attempt that she had been living as a boy at school. The Court held that California “cut out the primary protectors of children’s best interest: their parents.” Six justices found that secrecy policies likely violate both the First Amendment’s protection of religious liberty and the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of parental rights.
