Maureen O’Connor was the longest-serving elected woman in Ohio. From 1985–1993, O’Connor served as Magistrate in the Summit County Probate Court.
The Ohio Constitution states that no one may run for judicial office after reaching age 70. Although blocked from seeking reelection, O’Connor’s resignation comes after having voted against GOP efforts to redistrict statehouse and congressional maps. In July 2022, O’Connor was the swing vote in a 4–3 motion to reject a GOP-drawn map of U.S. House districts as gerrymandered.
