Fisher garners Teamsters endorsement
Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher Thursday, July 9, nabbed the endorsement of the Ohio Conference of Teamsters. Fisher, a Democrat, is hoping to succeed Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, in the U.S. Senate after Voinovich retires next year.
Fisher earlier this week grabbed the endorsement of the UAW. The Teamsters have more than 75,000 members across the state.
Roger Insprucker, President of the Ohio Conference of Teamsters, said Fisher has stood with the union “in good times and bad.”
Fisher faces Democrat Jennifer Brunner in the primary election for U.S. Senate. Republicans Rob Portman of Cincinnati and Tom Ganley, a northeast Ohio auto dealer, are also running.

Ms. Wehrman, Real news would be be a union press release that did not support Lee Fisher. I suggest [ to the tune of Camptown Races], a story title that reads, Another Union Supports Lee Fisher- DO DA, DO DA.
