State Rep. Keith Faber (R) defeated former U.S. Rep. Zack Space (D) and accountant Robert Coogan (L) in the general election for auditor of Ohio on November 6, 2018. Incumbent Dave Yost (R), who was first elected in 2010, was term-limited, making this an open-seat race.

The office performs audits of state agencies and government entities throughout Ohio and provides financial services to local governments as needed. He or she is also one of five members of a state commission responsible for redrawing state legislative boundaries during redistricting.[1][2]

Ohio was both a Republican trifecta and Republican triplex, meaning Republicans controlled both chambers of the state legislature and held the offices of governor, secretary of state, and attorney general.

Ohio had supported statewide Democratic candidates in the past decade, however, including President Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012 and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) in 2012.

Thomas Ferguson (D), the last Democrat elected state auditor in Ohio, left office in 1995.[3]

Party: Democratic

Incumbent: No

Political office: U.S. House, Ohio's 18th (2007-2011)

Biography: Space earned his bachelor's degree from Kenyon College and J.D. from the Ohio State University. He practiced law for two decades, including working as a public defender and as the law director of Dover. After serving two terms in Congress, Space joined the law firm Vorys, Sater, Seymour, and Pease.[4]

Key messages
  • Space said the auditor should impact policy. He would use the office to investigate charter schools run by for-profit entities like the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow.[5]
  • Space said his top three priorities in office would be to "shine a light on the corrupting influence of money in politics," to end partisan gerrymandering, and "to investigate where taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely, and where improvements must be made."[6]

Party: Republican

Incumbent: No

Political office: Ohio House of Representative (assumed office: 2017, 2001-2007); Ohio State Senate (2007-2017)

Biography: Faber earned his bachelor's degree from Oakland University and J.D. from the Ohio State University. He became the principal partner of Faber and Associates in Celina, a law firm specializing in civil litigation and mediation. He was first elected to the state legislature in 2006 and served as president of the Ohio State Senate from 2013 to 2017.[7][8]

Key messages

  • Faber said Space's plan to investigate charter schools was a misunderstanding of the role of the auditor. Faber described himself in the role of the auditor as the state's chief compliance officer rather than a partisan actor.[10][11]

Fixing Our Broken Democracy

Ohioans in every corner of the state know that our democratic process is not working for them. Too many feel left behind and ignored by career politicians. For too long Ohio’s political process and system of government have catered to wealthy campaign contributors and prioritized powerful special interests, while disregarding the needs and concerns of hard-working Ohioans and their families.

We deserve a government that is responsive to us; that is accountable to us. Only we have the power to change the rules that govern our democracy. As Auditor, Zack will work tirelessly to reform our government and restore faith in Ohio’s democracy. That starts by shining a light on the improper influence of pay-to-play politics.

One need look no further than to the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow (ECOT) scandal to understand that our political process is broken. ECOT received over $1 billion in taxpayer money to educate our children, despite its repeated misrepresentation of attendance figures and dismal performance record. How could they stay in business for so long? Because ECOT and its executives contributed heavily to the very politicians charged with ensuring a quality public education for all children. The winners: ECOT executives and incumbent politicians. The losers: thousands of school children who will forever be deprived of reaching their full potential. As Auditor, Zack will hold politicians, the Ohio Department of Education, bad-actor charter schools, and their sponsors accountable.

Ending Gerrymandering

Ohio’s legislative districts are some of the most polarized and non-competitive in the country. Politicians purposely designed them this way as an act of political self-preservation. While a convenient tool to advance political careers and exercise political dominance, these districts have served to both disenfranchise and divide us. The implications are grave.

As Auditor, Zack will serve on the redistricting commission (previously referred to as the Apportionment Board) and will lead an effort to draw Ohio’s districts in a way that serves all Ohioans, without regard to political favor.

The Power of Performance Audits

Ohio’s Auditor has broad statutory authority to oversee the expenditure and utilization of government resources, including the unique ability to conduct performance audits. Performance audits enable the Auditor to commission honest, fair assessments of how effectively our government uses your tax dollars.

As Auditor, Zack will conduct objective, in-depth, and fact-based performance audits to ensure Ohioans’ tax dollars are efficiently serving their interests. Whether it be assessing our state’s response to the opioid crisis, determining the effect of restricting access to health care coverage, or understanding the implications of cutting local government funds to Ohio communities of all sizes. Zack will use performance audits to protect you and your tax dollars.[17]

Government Accountability and Transparency

OPEN THE GOVERNMENT. GIVE UP THE RECORDS.

Even the news media recognized Conservative Keith Faber as a leader in creating access to public records. In fact, the Ohio Coalition for Open Government gave him their Public Service Award for it. As Auditor of State, Keith Faber will work with local government agencies to make the most commonly requested public records online so that Ohioans have easy access 24 hours a day.

After all, it’s your money and your records.

Cut Regulation and Red Tape

CUTTING JOB-KILLING REGULATIONS

Ohio’s economy depends on growing and maintaining a strong environment for entrepreneurs and private industry. That’s why Keith Faber led on reforms that have reduced new regulatory filings by nearly 50 percent and why he will continue his fight to reform Ohio’s burdensome regulatory environment so that we protect families and grow our economy at the same time.

Rein in Wasteful Spending

TAKING A HARDER LOOK AT STATE AGENCIES

Ohio spends billions of dollars on government bureaucracy. Keith Faber crafted and helped pass legislation that requires performance audits of state agencies and may sunset ineffective, inefficient, or outdated state agencies.

Improving Government Efficiency

EFFICIENT, LESS COSTLY GOVERNMENT

Keith Faber forced Ohio to cut taxes by $5 billion and insisted on the elimination of the job-killing small business tax. He knows a more efficient state government needs less of your money.

Improve Higher Education Affordability and Efficiency

MORE AFFORDABLE AND EFFICIENT HIGHER EDUCATION

Ohioans want to send their children to quality colleges and universities that are affordable. That’s why Keith Faber issued the Ohio Higher Education Challenge that reduced the cost of a degree at Ohio colleges and universities by an average of 11 percent. Keith Faber will initiate performance audits of higher education to help eliminate waste and inefficiency.[17]

2020 redistricting impact

Impact of the 2018 election cycle on 2020 redistricting

Redistricting is the process by which new congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn. All 435 United States representatives and 7,383 state legislators are elected from political divisions called districts. District lines are redrawn every 10 years following completion of the United States Census, which is next scheduled to occur in 2020. The federal government stipulates that districts must have nearly equal populations and must not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity.[20]

Redistricting processes can be affected by the trifecta status of a state. Ballotpedia defines a trifecta as any state in which both chambers of the state legislature and the governorship are controlled by the same party. If both chambers of a state legislature are controlled by one party but the governorship is held by another, that governor could veto district maps adopted by the opposing party. Alternatively, in a state where control of the legislature itself is divided between two parties, the two chambers may vie to advance competing district plans.

How did trifecta status impact the 2010 redistricting cycle in Ohio? Click here to find out.

Congressional redistricting

In 37 states, state legislatures control the congressional redistricting process, meaning that the legislatures are ultimately responsible for adopting new maps. In all but two of these states (Connecticut and North Carolina), a governor can veto congressional maps adopted by the state legislature. In 2018, governors in 27 of these states will be up for election and will stand to have an impact during the 2020 redistricting cycle. Of these 27 states, Republicans have trifectas in 15 heading into the 2018 elections, meaning that Republicans control both chambers of the state legislature and the governorship. Democrats have trifectas in three. The remaining nine are under divided control.

The winner of Ohio's 2018 election for auditor is not poised to impact the 2020 congressional redistricting cycle. The state auditor has no direct role in the congressional redistricting process.

State legislative redistricting

In 37 states, state legislatures control the state legislative redistricting process, meaning that the legislatures are ultimately responsible for adopting new maps. In 31 of these states, a governor can veto state legislative maps adopted by the state legislature. In 2018, governors in 23 of these states will be up for election and will stand to have an impact during the 2020 redistricting cycle. Of these 23 states, Republicans have 14 trifectas heading into the 2018 elections, meaning that Republicans control both chambers of the state legislature and the governorship. Democrats have trifectas in three. The remaining six are under divided control.

The winner of Ohio's 2018 election for auditor is poised to impact the 2020 state legislative redistricting cycle. The state auditor serves on the commission responsible for drawing district lines.[2]

In presidential elections between 1900 and 2016, Ohio cast votes for the winning presidential candidate 93.3 percent of the time (28 out of 30 elections), more than any other state in the country.
