As she leaves the Ohio Supreme Court, Republican Maureen O'Connor pledges to work on redistricting reform and take maps out of the hands of politicos.
− three Democrats − in multiple rulings that the congressional and legislative maps were unconstitutional. The seven-member Ohio Redistricting Commission ignored the state supreme court orders to redraw the maps.
"It is a horrible example of one branch of government disrespecting because they don't like the decision. C'mon, you think people can do that? I mean, the average citizen says 'I don't like that law. I know they passed it but I don't have to obey it.'? C'mon," said O'Connor in an interview with USA TODAY Network Ohio bureau.
After a career as a Republican elected official, O'Connor says she doesn't share the values now displayed in the GOP."I didn't and I still don't. Never did. Never would." While still a registered Republican, O'Connor declined to disclose how she voted in the 2022 midterms.O'Connor grew up in Parma and Strongsville near Cleveland in an Irish-Catholic family of eight children.
O’Connor graduated law school at Cleveland State University. She served as a probate court magistrate and common pleas court judge in Summit County. When a vacancy occurred, she decided county prosecutor was too important a job to leave to just anybody.O’Connor made the leap to statewide politics as former Gov. Bob Taft’s running mate in 1998. When Taft won, O’Connor took on double duty as lieutenant governor and director of public safety.
