Mike DeWine appears to have GOP nod for AG

By William Hershey | Friday, March 5, 2010, 04:15 PM

It appears that former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine of Cedarville won’t have an opponent on the May ballot for the GOP nomination for attorney general.

Hardin County Attorney Steve Christopher, who’s part of Tea Party movement, did not have enough signatures to qualify for the primary ballot, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner’s office said on Friday, March 5.

Brunner’s office also said that two candidates who filed as Democrats in the U.S. Senate race - Traci Johnson of Hilliard and Charlena Renee Bradley of Lyndhurst - didn’t have enough signatures to qualify.

That makes the race for the nomination a two-person contest between Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher. The winner will face Republican Rob Portman, the former Cincinnati-area congressman, who has no primary opposition.
