Written by WKTN Staff on November 9, 2022
In the two county-wide contested races, Republican candidates cruised to victory on Election Day.
Jon Cross easily defeated Claire Osborne in Hancock, Hardin and part of Logan Counties to retain his seat as Representative of the 83rd District in the Ohio House of Representatives.
Cross was grateful for the votes, “To send a clear message that this is the kind of representation that people are looking for. A lot of hard work, a lot of hustle, a lot of accountability, getting the job done and most importantly, fighting for you all and fighting to bring those tax dollars and resources right back here to the 83rd District.”
Maria Santo handily defeated Mark Schwemer in the race for Judge of Common Pleas Court- Domestic Relations Division.
Santo thanked the voters and noted the historic aspect of the win, “I would like to thank all the citizens of Hardin County for believing in me, supporting me and I want them to enjoy this victory also, and I would also like them to recognize that this is historic in Hardin County, because I am the first female judge who has ever been elected to the Hardin County Common Pleas Court and I humbly thank the citizens.”
