Ohio's Republican County Auditors Overwhelmingly Endorse Yost for Auditor of State

More than 98% of Ohio’s 51 GOP county auditors have endorsed Dave Yost for Auditor of State.

Yost, currently the Delaware County Prosecutor and a former county auditor, said he was humbled by the outpouring of support.

“These are my peers, people I’ve worked with,” Yost said.  “To have the county auditors endorse my work – and judge me worthy to be Auditor of State -- is hugely encouraging.”

Republican leaders asked Yost to take up the mantle of Auditor of State Mary Taylor, who announced will seek election as lieutenant governor.
