Not Running? Baloney!

Ohio's latest unannounced candidate, Josh Mandel, seems to have had some additional activity on his behalf.  A recent search at the FEC website, shows that the Senate Conservatives Fund has made some expenditures to support Candidate ID: S2OH00170 (Josh Mandel) for rental of email lists, and online processing fees (see Schedule E for Report FEC-732982).

The Youngstown Vindicator has this about Mandel's political experience:

....He served three years as a Lyndhurst city councilman, and four years in the Ohio House.

During his Oct. 6, 2010, endorsement meeting with The Vindicator, Mandel touted his record in the Legislature.

But during further questioning, he admitted he was the lead sponsor or main co-sponsor on only four or five bills, none of which were ever enacted into law....

We are still waiting to hear whether Mandel supports the provisions in SB 5.  When will he respond to questions?
