As the author of The Warren War, I want to acknowledge and correct an error in my reporting.

During my research, I misinterpreted a provision of the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct. This was a careless mistake on my part, and I take full responsibility for it.

I want to make clear that the article was written without malice, personal animosity, or any intention to misrepresent either candidate.

I sincerely apologize to Sarah Warren, Miranda Warren, and the Logan County community for the error and any confusion it may have caused.

Accuracy, fairness, and accountability are essential to responsible journalism. I believe that when journalists make mistakes, we have an obligation to acknowledge them openly, correct the record, and learn from them.

I hold myself to that same standard.
