About a year after dropping out of the Ohio Republican gubernatorial primary, Attorney General Dave Yost announced his resignation on May 7 to take a position in the private sector.

“I begin a new chapter June 8 as VP of Strategic Research and Innovation at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit law firm that’s won 18 cases at [the Supreme Court] in the last 15 years. I’ve been honored to serve Ohio, and will continue to fight for freedom!” Yost wrote in an X post.
