Yates backs Fisher
State Rep. Tyrone Yates, D-Cincinnati, an early contender in the Democratic primary to replace retiring Sen. George Voinovich, has backed Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher in the Democratic primary.
Yates, who dropped out of the race earlier this summer, called Fisher “a talented leader.”
“He’s one of the quickest minds and graspers of issues that face Ohio, maybe that I know in public service in the state,” Yates said in a conference call Tuesday, Aug. 25.
Fisher faces Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in the Democratic primary. The winner of that race will face either Republican Rob Portman or Tom Ganley next November.
