(Bloomberg) -- Ohio businessman Bernie Moreno announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate as a “conservative outsider,” joining a growing Republican field in the closely watched 2022 race to replace retiring Senator Rob Portman.
Moreno, 54, a car dealership owner and chairman of the blockchain technology company Ownum, said he came to the U.S. as a child with his mother and siblings from Colombia, where he said he was surrounded by “the ideology of socialist radicals” such as Cuba’s Fidel Castro. Moreno says he’s committed to fighting socialism in America.
