Freedom to Marry Ohio's CEO, former Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, applauded DeWine for asking the court to dismiss the challenge.

"The Ohio Attorney General and the Ohio Ballot Board unanimously approved our petition language to give two loving adults the freedom to marry in Ohio," Kilroy said in an April 30 release.
