Dave Johnson’s character should not be questioned

To the editor:

I am writing in response to the one-sided scurrilous attack against Ohio Republican Party Treasurer Dave Johnson that appeared in your papers.

While this is not the forum to discuss ongoing litigation, the attack on Dave Johnson’s character is unwarranted, unprofessional, and disgraceful. To tarnish a man who is not only a leader in Ohio politics, but also a leader in the community who has employed hundreds of people is inexcusable.

All based on allegations from people manufacturing a fake scandal to seize control of the ORP State Central Committee. As a local newspaper which should be significantly familiar with all the positive efforts Dave Johnson has contributed to his community, you should be ashamed to print such a one-sided and ridiculous article.

Dave Johnson, who also serves as the Columbiana County Chairman, is a man of honor who has been a strong leader in the community for decades. He has worked tirelessly and at great personal expense to elect Republican candidates, including President Donald J. Trump both in 2016 and in 2020. His integrity is without question, and he will be completely vindicated.

You have been duped by liars grinding a political ax against Dave’s reputation. How fitting for your screed to be printed on April Fool’s Day.

Chairman Bob Paduchik,

Ohio Republican Party
