Starting with the election of Voinovich and DeWine and continuing to as recently as last spring, Ohio's senators have worked very closely to ensure that they maximized the number of candidates who would receive noms to the SA's. It works to the advantage of the candidates. They also have a very commendable success rate as measured by the number of their noms who get offers of appointments. Overall, you will find Ohio to be very competitive for its size and shrinking number of MOC's. Northeast Ohio produced 13 members for 2014, plus at least one prepper. Keep working on being the best candidate you can be. Best wishes!
