David Thomas, a public official representing his constituents in Columbus, shared a series of posts on social media regarding the Ohio Supreme Court Primary and tax-related ballot measures.
On May 4, 2026, Thomas endorsed a candidate for the upcoming judicial election, writing, “I recommend voting for Judge @akingohio in tomorrow’s Supreme Court Primary in Ohio.”
Later that day, he addressed fiscal issues tied to voter participation. He stated on May 4, 2026: “Tomorrow is your opportunity as a voter to lower your tax bill. In November 2025 voters took that opportunity and raised their taxes. By not voting, or voting to increase your own bill, that just means taxes will increase. If your bill is too high, vote no.” His comments reference previous decisions by Ohio voters during the November 2025 elections that resulted in higher local taxes.
On Election Day itself, May 5, 2026, Thomas posted about his own participation in the primary and thanked supporters. He wrote: “I voted! I thank God every election for the opportunity to serve you and request your vote. Thank you for your past support and I ask for your courtesy vote today in my unopposed primary election to continue representing you in Columbus Polls are open until 7:30!”
Ohio has held several tax-related ballot initiatives over recent years, with local governments frequently turning to voters for approval of levies or bond issues affecting property tax rates.
