By Dan Sewell - Associated Press
CINCINNATI (AP) Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, pulled into the national spotlight by a 2019 mass shooting, said Monday she wants to unseat Ohio’s Republican governor in the 2022 election.
The 45-year-old Democrat, positioning herself as a “tough” progressive populist, will try for the second time to make Ohio history by becoming the first female major-party nominee for governor.
“I’m ready to do something,” she said in her announcement. “I’m ready to do something to take on gun violence. To fix a broken economy. To fight corruption and criminality in Columbus. ”
