We the People Convention, an Ohio-based nonprofit that advocates for limited constitutional governance, endorsed former state Representative John Adams for Ohio Secretary of State.
Adams is running in the GOP primary against incumbent Frank LaRose, who recently gained the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
According to the group, LaRose represents the “establishment” wing of the Republican Party and has not taken strong enough action to support mandatory photo identification measures in order to vote.
“The We the People Convention is proud to endorse John Adams for Ohio Secretary of State. We have known John Adams personally since his time in the Ohio legislature where he was a conservative warrior who fought the Republican Establishment and monied special interest in a constant effort to pass legislation that benefited the common citizens of Ohio and the voters in his district. What a concept! The former Navy Seal served eight years in the Ohio House representing the 85th District. The Celina, OH, business owner, unlike the current Secretary of State, supported Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020,” Tom Zawistowski, President of the We the People Convention (WTPC), said in an emailed statement.
The organization has also supported Mike Gibbons for U.S. Senate and Jim Renacci’s GOP challenge to Governor Mike DeWine.
“John Adams is totally in sync with the Trump voters in Ohio who are AGAINST “automatic voter registration,” mailing absentee ballots to all registered voters, online voting, and unmanned ballot boxes. The current Secretary of State supports all of that and more leftist ideas, which is why he must be replaced by YOUR VOTE for a true conservative and Patriot – John Adams,” he continued
Early voting for the position is already underway with the full primary on May 3.
