Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Nancy Hollister" in English language version.
Voinovich, a Clevelander, is weak downstate; in 1990, he lost in ten of the twenty-nine counties in Appalachian Ohio. Hollister's presence on the ticket could help him where he needs it most. As a bonus, her presence might attract women and pro-choice voters who otherwise would not vote for Voinovich.
That political path was pretty much blocked by Secretary of State Bob Taft, an early and prolific money-raiser who became heir-apparent after bowing out to give Voinovich a clear shot in 1990.
Gov. Nancy Holster signed her first and probably only bill into law... This voluntary law allows farmers to sell the development rights of their land to local governments, so that the land is legally required to remain as farmland. Local governments pay the farmer the difference between the agricultural and development value of the land.
Taft succeeds Ohio's first woman governor Republican Nancy Hollister. She filled-in for 11 days after Republican George Voinovich who held the job for eight years left as newly elected US senator.
