Thank you, Ohio, for the 177,416 votes last Tuesday! It's gratifying as a non-major party candidate that so many of you expressed confidence in my ability to assume the job of Auditor of State. Let me be the first to wish Mr. Yost well as he embarks upon the duties of that office.

Also, I want to thank the inclusive media from this election: ONN [Ohio News Network], WGTE - Toledo, WBNS Channel 10 - Columbus, WHIO - Dayton, WHLO Radio - Akron Canton, and others throughout the state. I think we Libertarians showed we have serious, thoughtful, and experienced candidates and hope in the future that even more media - and the voters ! - recognize our talents and positions on the issues of the day.

Sincerely

Mike Howard
