statement September 7, 2010
Claimed in an August 2010 campaign email that his office's most important work had been creating and retaining almost 55,000 Ohio jobs; PolitiFact found most of the credit belonged to other state agencies administering the bond-funded programs and that more than half the jobs counted were indirect or projected rather than actual positions.

Reported conflicts
-
Boyce's Treasurer's office employed Walaa Waeda, wife of bank lobbyist Noure Alo, in a secretarial role; Mandel's campaign alleged this hire preceded state contracts benefiting Alo's bank, though PolitiFact found the specific mosque framing of the hire False and noted the position lacked access to confidential material.
