Get Involved

Down-ballot races are won by people, not budgets.

A judicial race is decided by whoever gets voters all the way to the bottom of the ballot. That is volunteers, signs, and conversations.

Volunteer

Two hours is a real contribution.

Poll greeting on Election Day, a lit drop on your own street, an hour of data entry. The campaign will take whatever you can give and will not pester you for more.

Do not send case information

Judge McGowan cannot discuss a pending or impending case outside the courtroom. Do not use any form on this website to send information about a case, to ask a legal question, or to seek advice. Messages of that kind cannot be answered and will be discarded. If you have a matter before the court, contact your attorney or the Clerk of Courts.

This is the website of the campaign committee of Judge Lisa D. McGowan. It is not a website of the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, the Domestic Relations Division, or Lucas County. It is not maintained at public expense and no public funds, staff, or facilities are used in its operation.

Judge McGowan does not personally solicit or accept campaign contributions. Under Rule 4.4(A) of the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct, contributions are solicited, received, and managed solely by her campaign committee.

Under Rule 4.1(A)(13) of the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct, a judicial candidate may not make pledges, promises, or commitments that are inconsistent with the impartial performance of the adjudicative duties of judicial office. Nothing on this site is, or should be read as, a commitment about how Judge McGowan would decide any issue or case.

Candidates for judge of an Ohio court of common pleas are nominated in a partisan primary and appear on the general election ballot without party designation, in the nonpartisan judicial section.

Contributions to a candidate's campaign committee are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
