Campaign website
Clyde's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
“For too long, politicians in the Ohio Statehouse have been controlled by special interests, lobbyists and secret campaign contributions. It has corrupted our elections, rigged our government and hurt our economy. With no accountability, all the benefits flow to the wealthy, and working Ohioans truly pay the price. Hardworking Ohioans deserve state leaders that will put their needs front and center. It’s clear we need new leadership in Columbus.” As Secretary of State, Kathleen will bring accountability and transparency to our government and put middle class and hardworking Ohioans first. Kathleen will secure elections from growing cyber threats, help welcome more businesses to Ohio and close secret money loopholes for special interests. She will stand up for the fundamental right to vote, and end the partisan gerrymandering that lets corrupt politicians rig the system. Find out more here: Secure Our Elections “The machinery of our American democracy was attacked in 2016, and urgent bipartisan action is needed to protect our voting systems,” Clyde said. “At this crucial time, we need to invest in the strength of our democracy by upgrading to voting machines and systems that will allow us to conduct secure elections that can withstand foreign attack.” Welcome New Businesses Kathleen will streamline our online business filing system and support small business owners. Clyde will work with state leaders to invest in Ohio’s workforce, providing access to quality education, and to provide innovative tools that will help Ohio’s businesses and workers compete. Bring Transparency to Our Elections This is why Kathleen is calling to close secret money loopholes, increase transparency, and ban foreign money from campaigns in Ohio.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

What is a superdelegate?
Superdelegates in 2016 were automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention, meaning that, unlike regular delegates, they were not elected to this position. Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents. All superdelegates were free to support any presidential candidate of their choosing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[15]

Ohio had 160 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 143 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[17][18]
Seventeen party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[17][19]
