Campaign websiteStrbich's campaign website stated the following:As Secretary of State, Marcell will push through the first-in-the-nation historic Ohio Election Integrity Bill of Rights - a one day, one vote plan.Voter ID required to register and votePaper ballot as primary voting method; limit electronic machines for casting votesProof of citizenship to register and voteIn-person voting - no universal vote by mailSmaller voting precinctsElection Day = Federal/State HolidayNo electronic vote casting machinesResults by 10:00pm, winners announced by midnightDefending American InterestsPresident TrumpOhio must do all that it can to be an active partner with the Trump Administration in all Executive Orders and initiatives that it takes. Ohio overwhelmingly chose to save our Country by electing President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. Ohio's elected officials owe all Ohioans complete and total support of the America First Agenda.2nd AmendmentThe right to bear arms is non-negotiable for law-abidingcitizens. Without the protection of the 2nd Amendment, we cannot ensure the practice and continuation of our Ist Amendment rights. As a life member of the NRA, I Will always protect the constitutional rights of all Ohioans.Protecting LifeLife is sacred and a gift from God. It begins at conception. The opportunity to uphold and promote life without exception should be met with emphasis. The government should provide no funding for abortion, and neither should the taxpayer.Protecting Family ValuesAttempts to destroy the family and biological identity should be met with swift rejection. Girl's sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms must be protected in Ohio. And we must ensure no taxpayer dollars are spent on entertaining the woke agenda.Immigration and OhioAs a Nation of laws, we must enforce those laws for them to have any meaning - that is exactly what the Trump Administration is doing. Ohio's cooperation with deportations and federal agencies is necessary to re-establish the rule of law and re-balance the disruptive, and sometimes deadly, effects of rampant illegal immigration.Ohio FarmlandsChina's quest for world dominance is a direct challenge to America's economic system and remains the single largest challenge to the future of liberty, security, and prosperity of the American people. Ownership of Ohio farmland by China and CCP owned entities needs to be highly scrutinized and prohibited.Mandates and DatabasesAny medical intervention or personal data collection, use and sale must involve a person's informed consent. Vaccines should be a choice, and government vaccine databases should be prohibited.— Marcell Strbich's campaign website (January 1, 1970)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
