Ohio’s most senior, most junior Republican House members back McCain
Reps. Ralph Regula and Bob Latta - the dean and the rookie of Ohio’s Republican congressional delegation, respectively - both announced their support for Sen. John McCain for president Friday, Feb. 29.
“While the Democrats offer veiled hope and empty promises, John McCain has the knowledge and experience necessary to lead our great country through challenging times,” Regula, R-Navarre, said in a statement released by the McCain campaign. “John McCain is the only candidate who is prepared to serve as commander in chief on his first day in the Oval Office.”
Earlier this week, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Centerville, announced his support. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester, has also endorsed McCain.
Regula represents the 16th Congressional District in northeast Ohio. Latta, R-Bowling Green, represents the 5th Congressional District in northwest Ohio.
