LaRose commends Trump's action on Executive Order 14019

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose today issued the following statement regarding President Trump's decision to rescind the Biden Administration's Executive Order 14019:

"The Biden Administration's attempt to use federal resources for partisan election activities threatened to undermine the integrity and neutrality of our electoral processes. I was proud to fight against this federal overreach and commend President Trump's decisive action to affirm his administration's commitment to transparent and fair elections.”

Executive Order 14019 required federal agencies, including those with no experience with elections administration, to engage in voter registration efforts. This included identifying and partnering with unaccountable third-party organizations selected by President Biden’s Administration. As a result, Secretary LaRose joined the America First Policy Institute and elections officials from several states in filing a federal lawsuit that challenged the executive order, which sought to transform federal agencies into partisan voter turnout operations. The lawsuit is currently pending in the Northern District of Texas.
