Ted Strickland, a former governor of Ohio, is beginning to raise money ahead of a possible challenge to Senator Rob Portman in 2016. “Ted Strickland is very seriously looking at a run for the U.S. Senate and is raising money as he explores his options,” Dennis Willard, a spokesman for Mr. Strickland, confirmed to First Draft. The Youngstown Vindicator first reported the fund-raising news.
And in an interview on Tuesday with The Cincinnati Inquirer, Mr. Strickland said he was leaving his position at the Center for American Progress, a Washington-based liberal advocacy group.
As a Strickland campaign looks more and more likely, Republicans are already on the offensive. The National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Ohio Republican Party have both been sending out news releases attacking Mr. Strickland.
Poster Comment:
