Ready for the 2012 election?

As we look ahead to November’s elections, Solon Patch is devoted to bring you the information you need about everything from the presidential race to the local issues in town.

Here's our start on the candidates and issues we'll be covering as November draws near. Bookmark this page for updates.

Presidential Election

President Barack Obama (DEM) Vs. Mitt Romney (GOP): Ohio is a huge battleground state, so both presidential candidates will likely be here many times before Election Day. When either Obama or Romney come to Northeast Ohio, be sure that we'll cover it and bring you what you need to know. 

U.S. Senate

Sen. Sherrod Brown (DEM) Vs. Josh Mandel (GOP): You've already seen the commercials, right? This will no doubt be the most contentious and highly publicized statewide race. Like the presidential contest, we'll be bringing this one to you when there's local events to cover.

Ohio Senate

Sen. Tom Patton (GOP) Vs. Jennifer Brady (DEM): Patton will face off against Brady for the 24th Senate District seat, which represents Solon.

Ohio Representative

Rep. Marlene Anielski (GOP) Vs. Anthony Fossaceca (DEM): This should be an interesting one. Anielski is a one-term state rep being challenged by newcomer Fossaceca. They are running for the 6th district seat, which represents Solon.

Local Issues

Right now, Solon is exploring putting on the November ballot. They are a ballot measure to allow pet stores at Uptown Solon and easing zoning at Solon Commons on Enterprise Parkway.
