Cuyahoga County voting records obtained by the Associated Press show Democratic gubernatorial candidate, physician and venture capitalist Jon Heavey failed to cast a ballot in the 2016 election - or in any election since 2012.
Heavey has framed his campaign as a response to President Trump. He says he abstained from the 2016 election because he was dissatisfied with his choices. Heavey also did not vote in the 2016 primary or any special, primary or off-year general election since November 2012. Heavey says that makes him "like the millions of other Americans who aren't engaged in the political process" because they're dissatisfied. He says he decided to run because voters "deserve leaders who understand their frustrations."
