Sen. Sherrod Brown has his first ad up and it hits Treasurer Josh Mandel right where it hurts---- the cronyism that has been rampant in the office of the Ohio Treasurer.
PlainDealer:
You've seen U.S. Sherrod Brown criticized in TV ads over economic and
energy policy. Now Brown is hitting back, starting tonight with a
tough, 30-second commercial that accuses his opponent, Josh Mandel, of
hiring inexperienced, "unqualified" buddies and giving them big raises
in the Ohio treasurer's office.
The commercial shows pictures of six Mandel aides and focuses on
three in particular: Mandel's former campaign manager, earning $100,00;
his former college friend, earning $150,00, and his former 26-year-old
campaign aide, earning $90,000.....
....Each of these claims is based on reporting by the Dayton Daily News.
The newspaper reported on March 31 that Mandel, a Republican elected as
state treasurer in 2010, hired young, relatively inexperienced staffers
from his campaign "and gave them high-ranking jobs in the state
treasurer’s office."

Sen. Sherrod Brown has worked and supported the working men and women of Ohio. We need to support him today and on election day.
