The Supreme Court denied Samuel Ronan’s request to be placed on the Republican primary ballot in Ohio’s 15th District, after state officials removed him following a voter protest. Ronan argued the removal punished his political speech; Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said Ronan’s candidacy declaration was false.
ALSO MENTIONED Frank LaRose, Ohio Secretary of State who defended Ronan’s removal and accused him of making a false declaration; Brett Kavanaugh, Supreme Court justice who called for an immediate response to Ronan’s appeal; Sarah D. Morrison, judge who rejected Ronan’s First Amendment claim at the district court level
