According to an article in The Other Paper, Chris Spielman has been talked to about a possible run as a Republican candidate for Ohio's 15 congressional district. Chris, and his wife, Stephanie, have both declined the offer.
However, there is a possible GOP candidate in Hilliard. Republicans are trying to convince the president of the Hilliard City Council, Bret Sciotto, to run for the 15th district. (Wow! I've never even heard of him!) If Mr. Sciotto refuses the offer, the Republicans may have to look elsewhere.
The Ohio Republican Party looks to be in horrible shape. They do not have a viable candidate one year before the election. Does this indicate that the GOP has lost both power and prestige in Ohio?
