Over the past several months, I’ve visited all 88 counties and I’ve heard the same thing everywhere. Ohioans are working hard to do the best for themselves and their families, but they feel no one is listening to them anymore. I’ve heard them loud and clear. Policies that ignore the needs of working families in Ohio are risking their pay, their safety, and their livelihoods.

As the people’s lawyer, the Attorney General should be part of the solution. We have a choice to make next November. We can either have more of the same, or an attorney general with a vigorous new approach.

The challenges that Ohio faces are tough. But so are Ohioans.

I’m no stranger to difficult fights. I will stand up to anyone who doesn’t put the best interests of our state’s families first. I’m ready to run and win so Ohioans have an attorney general who works for the people.

Meet John Kulewicz

John J. Kulewicz grew up in Columbus, Ohio. He learned the values of hard work and independent judgment from his parents and grandparents, who came from Martins Ferry and Cincinnati, and saw firsthand the importance of good jobs and union membership to the economy of Ohio. John has spent his law career challenging conventional wisdom and taking on uphill battles. As a 44-year member of the Columbus-based law firm Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, he successfully argued and won cases against the odds in the Supreme Court of the United States and in courts throughout Ohio. He recently published a book, An Ohioan’s Odyssey: Lessons in Leadership, Law, and Public Service.

In politics, Kulewicz has consistently defied expectations, most recently in his own two campaigns for Upper Arlington City Council, where he was the leading vote-getter both times. In his re-election effort, he won more votes than any UA City Council candidate in a contested election since adoption of the city charter seven decades ago.

John earned his J.D. from Yale Law School, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal. He earned his B.A. in American history from The Ohio State University.

Outside of work, he is an accomplished long-distance swimmer and certified lifeguard. He lives with his wife Maryline in Upper Arlington where he has served on the City Council since 2020. He and Maryline are the proud parents of Adam and Abigail.
