DeWine Says He'll Bring Public Inauguration Ceremony Back To The Statehouse

Gov. Ted Strickland held his public inauguration ceremony on the west steps of the Statehouse in January 2007.

Gov.-elect Mike DeWine is giving a few hints about his inauguration next month. DeWine first wanted to run for governor nearly three decades ago. So he’s had a long time to think about what he wants.“My goal is to be sworn in in the Capitol in the Rotunda. I was sworn in there the two times for Attorney General, and I would hope to be sworn in in the Capitol when I become governor of the state,” DeWine said.John Kasich held both his ceremonial inaugurations at the Ohio Theatre on Capitol Square. In 2007, Ted Strickland was sworn in on a stage on the west steps of the Statehouse.As for DeWine’s official oath of office at midnight on January 14 – he could do that at his historic home in Cedarville in Green County, at the Statehouse, or somewhere else.DeWine also plans at least one public event specifically designed to include families.
