(Columbus) - Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose issued the following statement today regarding the administrative stay granted by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth District in the lawsuit challenging Ohio’s ban on foreign funding of state ballot issue campaigns:

“This is a win for Ohioans who believe our elections shouldn’t be decided by foreign billionaires trying to hijack our state constitution. I’m grateful the court has allowed the statute to take effect while we continue to litigate this case. We’ll keep fighting to make sure Ohio’s law is upheld on appeal, and my office is ready to begin its immediate enforcement.”
