The criteria included meeting requirements for being on the ballot and legally qualified to be a candidate, results of independent polls, and demonstrating an active campaign with evidence of activities such as having a headquarters, raising a minimum amount of money from a minimum amount of donors, being on social media with a certain number of followers, engaging in voter activities such as house parties, parades, meet and greets, etc. Program time was spent on venue visits and selection for 2022 general election debates, in preparation for conducting each debate, moderator consideration and selection, format decisions, discussion and implemenation of question solicitation and selection, designing and deploying voter outreach plans, high school and college student engagement programs, candidate communications, media engagement and press relations, selecting and working with a prduction team, and planning for and implementing the distribution of the debates content across all eight Ohio media markets, as well as multiple other types of outlets. (e.g., universities, bar associations, AARP, civic organizations). The ODC Debate Playbook, a step-by-step guide for how to conduct a candidate debate, is designed to aid other nonprofit organizations in creating opportunities for and conducting candidate debates at any level of government where there are races for elected office (i.e., school board, state legislator, or a statewide seat like governor or secretary of state). The Playbook includes narrative descriptions of each phase: planning, organizing, conducting, broadcasting, and distributing candidate debates. The Playbook also includes templates and sample checklists, letters, event clocks, and other documents used throughout the work. The Playbook is available for free on our website in five languages (English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Chinese); users can download both the entire playbook or a one-page summary document to share with their membership. 88615 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 45833 1 true 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false OH X ROBERT SHENTON 2164022394 6000 WHITTINGHAM DR Dublin OH 43017 X ANTHONY SHOEMAKER DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK ROSENBERGER SECRETARY 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MONICA NIEPORTE DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 CYNDRA COLE DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 LUCAS CAMUSO-STALL DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KARL TURNER DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JERRY L MILLER BOARD CHAIR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 EDDIE HARRELL Jr DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM CRUTCHFIELD DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAN MOULTHROP DIRECTOR 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEN MILLER DIRECTOR 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE MERRITT TREASURER 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 86731 86731 86731 0 0 0 X 46083 16129 16129 13825 4424 1548 1548 1328 1280 1280 6800 6800 1433 1433 84 84 3006 3006 252 30 222 4 4 1996 1996 Other 284 184 100 Program supplies 62491 62491 128137 88615 24369 15153 83232 30297 25378 37800 108610 68097 3054 -11 3692 7652 6746 7641 X 101864 60456 101864 60456 108610 68097 -41406 -2 0 X false false false X 58270 215900 109628 82231 466029 10300 8688 10000 4500 33488 68570 224588 119628 86731 499517 144400 66150 79681 290231 30000 30000 144400 96150 79681 320231 179286 13867 13867 0 82437 224588 119628 86731 513384 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Payroll Liabilities 7652 7652 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 FORM 990 REVIEWED BY BOARD PRIOR TO FILING.
