“As chairman of the RSSC, I am fully committed to building public confidence in our elections. That means electing principled Republican leaders who will keep our state’s elections free and fair,” LaRose said.
“Our 2024 executive committee is comprised of secretaries who advocate for election integrity, and as a team we are focused on thwarting Democratic efforts to hijack our election systems for political gain. Ohio has long been a leader in this area, and I am honored that my counterparts in other states have trusted me with this important mission,” LaRose added.

Since 2007, the Republican Committee of Secretaries of State has helped elect Republicans to office, including the current 27 of the 50 serving secretaries of state.
