DeWine picks Dept. of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson as Ohio attorney general [View all]

snip-"DeWine picks Dept. of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson as Ohio attorney general

Andy Wilson had been DeWine's Senior Advisor for Criminal Justice Policy in his first term. DeWine moved Wilson up to Public Safety Director in December 2022, when Tom Stickrath retired."



snip-"Wilson will hold the office until January, when Yost's term expires. DeWine could have appointed Auditor Keith Faber, who is running for AG. But that would have set off a chain reaction, as Secretary of State Frank LaRose is running for auditor, treasurer Robert Sprague won the Republican primary for secretary of state on Tuesday, and former Rep. Jay Edwards also just won the GOP nomination for treasurer."
