WRIGHTPATH KICKS OFF THE YEAR WITH A TRIFECTA OF BALLOT WINS

CLEVELAND, OH — WrightPath Solutions, a top Ohio political consulting firm founded by seasoned political strategist Brian Wright, is starting the year with a bang, securing a trifecta of ballot wins, each with approximately 60% of the vote. Among these victories were the highly contested Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s race, a pivotal land-use campaign in Orange, Ohio, and the primary campaign for Sheriff in Lorain County.

In the highly contested Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s race, incumbent Michael O’Malley emerged victorious, solidifying his position as the county’s top law enforcement official. WrightPath Solutions developed and executed the campaign’s vital early vote effort, helping O’Malley secure a decisive win.

The land-use campaign in Orange, Ohio, marked a significant milestone for the community, with WrightPath Solutions helping secure approval for the LivingWell Collection, a $120 million development located across from Pinecrest — a well-known, upscale lifestyle center. The investment will bring millions in new revenues to the community, provide much-needed amenities, and create a new 37-acre park that will be protected from development in perpetuity.

In Lorain County, WrightPath Solutions played a pivotal role in the primary campaign for Sheriff where for the first time in over 20-years there has been an open seat for the position. Candidate Rich Resendez won the Democratic Primary by an overwhelming margin, positioning him to face-off against a Republican challenger in November.

“We are thrilled to have helped create a path to victory for these efforts,” said Brian Wright, President of WrightPath Solutions. “From the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s race to the land-use campaign in Orange and the primary campaign for Sheriff in Lorain County, we are proud to deliver such strong results for our clients and the communities that benefit from their success.”
