Attorney General DeWine Statement on the Death of Alex Arshinkoff
(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Oho Attorney General Mike DeWine issued the following statement following the death of Alex Arshinkoff:
"Today, Fran and I lost our very dear friend Alex
Arshinkoff. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Karen. I
talked to Alex on the phone this morning. He was upbeat, looking to the future,
and giving me good advice. Alex could always make me smile and laugh, which was
what he did this morning. No one understood politics better than Alex. As
the Republican Chairman in very Democratic Summit County, Alex recruited good
candidates and won races that no one thought could be won. He knew that the key
to winning was to find quality candidates, work hard at the grass roots level,
and raise money to fund them. He was a protege of the great chairman Ray
Bliss. I wish I could remember all the Ray Bliss stories that Alex has
told me! I cannot believe he is gone. My how I will miss him.
May you rest in peace my dear friend."
