JUNE 16, 2026 – Conservatives Concerned Executive Director Demetrius Minor issued a statement following Governor DeWine’s announcement calling for an end to the death penalty in Ohio.
“We join Governor DeWine in calling for an end to the death penalty in Ohio. His position is in step with many Republican state office holders across the country who argue that the death penalty conflicts with conservative values of protecting innocent people, honoring life, and being fiscally responsible. We commend Governor DeWine for his moral courage and encourage Ohio leaders to embrace alternatives to the death penalty that promote justice, public safety, and accountability.”
