For the Ohio House

Our choice: Celeste DeHoff in the 50th District

 

The 50th Ohio House District wraps around Canton on the south, east and west, Republican-leaning territory where Democrats hope to score a victory, adding to their chances of gaining a House majority. The seat is held by Republican John Hagan, who ran into term limits.

Celeste DeHoff, assistant law director in Jackson Township and a Tuscarawas Township trustee, won a five-way Democratic primary. She faces Todd Snitchler, a Uniontown attorney who beat Hagan's daughter, Christine, in the Republican primary.

We recommend the election of Celeste DeHoff on Nov. 4.

DeHoff, 40, has a solid record as a township trustee during the past decade. She understands the need for government to run more efficiently. Her top priority is education funding. She would like to dedicate state revenue for local schools, reducing reliance on local property taxes, finding the money within current revenues. DeHoff also understands the importance of affordable college tuition to the future.

Troubling about her candidacy is an openness to teaching creationism in the biology classroom, a distraction to an understanding of science.

Snitchler, 38, spends much of his law practice advising small businesses. He is an alumnus of Leadership Stark County, past chairman of the Lake Chamber of Commerce and president of the Lake Township Development Foundation. He is anxious to spur economic development in Ohio.

Yet Snitchler, in his first race, is quick to embrace simplistic solutions. He would consider further reductions in the state income tax to boost the economy, with barely a nod toward finding replacement revenue. In this race, DeHoff better understands what is required to move the state forward.
