Ted Strickland To Challenge Senator Rob Portman: Report

Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland (D), who once told The Huffington Post that he had “no plans for the Senate,” now, apparently, has had a change of heart.

“Ohio families still haven’t recovered from Ted Strickland’s tenure — under Strickland’s misguided policies and failed leadership, Ohio lost over 350,000 jobs and was 48th in job creation,” NRSC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek said in a statement Friday. “Ohio can’t afford to go back to those days, and that’s why we’ll do everything possible to help the Buckeye State keep Rob Portman as Senator.”
