Ohio: No Labels Files Signatures: The No Labels organization is attempting to qualify for ballot position in many states with the goal of offering centrist candidates in various races, possibly including President. The entity has so far qualified for a ballot line in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon. Yesterday, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) announced that the No Labels organization has petitioned for recognition in the Buckeye State. Mr. LaRose indicated that the signature verification process to determine if the group has met the state political party recognition requirement has begun.
Though the No Labels leadership, which includes former US Senator and 2000 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Joe Lieberman and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan as national co-chairmen, has so far indicated they are not looking to file a presidential candidate, both parties are wary that they might. In different states, No Labels could hurt each party. It is also conceivable that Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema could run for re-election on the No Labels line since the party has qualified in her state of Arizona. The Arizona Democratic Party, however, has filed a lawsuit attempting to invalidate its status claiming the No Labels organization has not completely fulfilled Arizona’s legal requirements.
