As Ohio Democrats scramble to decide who will run for U.S. Senate, Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley put down a $500,000 marker on the Ohio governor s race.
Cranley, 46, hasn t officially declared a gubernatorial bid, but the money he s raised since July is consistent with someone making a strong opening offer.
Cranley has apparently already picked his race. The Cincinnati Democrat created a fundraising committee for governor last February. Since then, he s raised over $500,000
and has $440,000 on hand. Money has been spent on research, travel, online processing costs and on Cincinnati-based Rivertown Strategies to run the political operation.
“If I run, my theme will be jobs, jobs and more jobs, Cranley said in a statement. For too long the one-party corrupt rule of Republicans has meant higher taxes and less jobs for the vast majority of Ohioans.
