Contributions to Supreme Court Candidates Escalating in 2002

Contributions to Supreme Court Candidates Escalating in 2002

During the length of one term for Ohio Supreme Court justice, the amount generated by candidates has jumped dramatically. The total raised by all the candidates for justice during the 2002 primary period ($1,941,219) is larger than the total amount raised during all of Election 1996 ($1,375,635).

Ohio Supreme Court Justice candidate Tim Black has raised more money in the first six months of the 2002 campaign ($745,858) than the total amount he generated during Election 2000 ($647,842). Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton fast approaches her 1996 total of $476,253 with $439,099 in contributions so far.

The total raised by all candidates in 1998 ($2,731,288) almost doubled the amount raised in 1996 ($1,375,635). It should be noted that the position of Chief Justice was on the ballot, which impacts this increase. Another comparison that might be better is comparing 1996 totals with 2000. During 1996 all candidates for justice generated $1,375,635 and in 2000 $3,118,280, an increase of 44%.

Ohio mirrors the national trend of escalating fundraising. In the 2000 campaign, Supreme Court candidates nationally raised $45.6 million- a 61% increase over 1998 and double the amount raised in 1994 (Goldberg, Holman, & Sanchez, 2002).
