Just a few weeks after taking the oath of office as state treasurer in 2011, Mandel decided that he wanted to run for Senate, even though he had promised to serve his full term as treasurer. How does Josh Mandel spend his time? Josh Mandel has flown all over the country collecting campaign money, rubbing elbows with lobbyists, and getting to know big contributors.
The Huffington Post has a story about Josh Mandel's work ethic:
Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel hopes to unseat Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) in this year's election, but state Democrats think Mandel has an odd way of carrying out his current job responsibilities. They point out that he has repeatedly skipped meetings of a board that oversees billions in Ohio government bank deposits.
After Mandel did not attend his 14th straight Board of Deposit meeting Wednesday night, Ohio Democrats were especially harsh in criticizing Mandel's work ethic.
“Josh Mandel's complete and total neglect of his job as Treasurer is a constant reminder of how unfit he is for public office and his obsession with a promotion is evidence of just how little he cares about his obligation to Ohio's taxpayers,” said Justin Barasky, Ohio Democratic Party press secretary and Brown's spokesman, in a statement. “There's not a Treasurer in America more willfully neglecting his responsibilities as a public servant and it's far past time for Josh Mandel to check his out of control political ambition at the door and start putting Ohioans first."
Where was Josh Mandel today instead of the deposit meeting?
