I urge your readers to elect Khadine Ritter to fill the vacant seat on Ohio’s Republican State Central Committee.

Ms. Ritter is highly intelligent and is an attorney in Southern Ohio’s largest law firm — Theisen Brock in Marietta.

Khadine has been politically active since she was a child, who was born and raised in Panama, where her father worked for the Panama Canal Commission.

Her mother created a home environment where Khadine learned how democratic citizens should conduct themselves.

In early 2000 Khadine agreed to become the campaign manager for the late Andy Thompson in his successful bid to become a member of Marietta’s City Council.

She later continued to serve as Andy’s campaign manager for his four successful elections to serve in the Ohio House of Representatives for the 94th District.

Khadine Ritter is experienced, knowledgeable and politically savvy.

I urge your readers to join me in electing Khadine to represent our District in the Ohio Republican State Central Committee.
