There is a primary on Tuesday's Democratic primary ballot. But it's not expected to be much of a contest. There are two names on the Democratic primary ballot â in alphabetical order, Larry Ealy and Ed FitzGerald. For FitzGerald, the former FBI agent and current Cuyahoga County Executive whoâs been running as a Democrat for governor for more than a year, the contest isnât this week against Ealy â itâs this November against incumbent Republican John Kasich. âIâm not sure thereâs a campaign behind the name, and so we havenât spent a lot of time talking about that," Fitzgerald says. "We think we do have a serious opponent in the general election and thatâs why we spend most of our time comparing ourselves to who we think the Republican nominee is going to be.â? And though Ealy is on the ballot, he has no website, no campaign logo or slogan and has held no fundraisers or official events. The unemployed Dayton area man has filed no campaign finance reports or paperwork other than the 1,321 signatures he turned in to run for governor. He doesnât have a social media presence, a campaign staff or office. This story would have included his official campaign photo, but he doesn't have one. All these things make it very unlikely heâll get more than a small percentage of votes. But obviously, thatâs not the way Ealy sees it. âYes, I mean I donât see why I canât beat FitzGerald. Until we get a black governor, weâll never have equal protection, equal due process â thereâs a slew of things that are lacking in Ohio for the last 211 years.â? Ealy talks about legalizing marijuana, about increasing youth employment, about offering loans to minority-owned businesses, about cutting taxes for the elderly and about bringing passenger train service into Ohio. FitzGerald, whoâs under the pressure of knowing that he likely will be facing a well-funded and very visible incumbent in the fall, talks more about Kasichâs ideas that he feels arenât working â namely, his economic policies and his cuts to public education and local governments. âI think all of that adds up to the very strong sense that a lot of people in Ohio have that Ohio has been run basically for the benefit of the governorâs friends and a few people at the top and the rest of Ohio is on the outside looking in and they want a different direction than that," Fitzgerald says. That leads to the issue of money. FitzGerald has around $1.5 million â Kasich has $8.5 million, a five-to-one advantage. Ealy doesnât have much to say about money â because he doesnât have much. Ealy was a bodybuilder turned exotic dancer in the 80s and most recently was a tow truck driver. But he hasnât worked in many years, and has spent muhc of that time learning about the law and filing lawsuits â so many that heâs been labeled a vexatious litigator. But Ealy says in spite of all the things that have been written and said about him, he says heâs real. âYou ainât going to find no realer person. Iâm down to earth. Iâm home-grown. This is all real. Iâm not a copy â Iâm the blueprint.â? Ealy says he wants a debate with FitzGerald, but FitzGerald says he considers a meeting of both candidates with the editorial board of the Plain Dealer/Northeast Ohio Media Group last month as close to a debate as there will be in this race.
