EXCLUSIVE – Sen. Rand Paul is weighing in on the increasingly crowded GOP Senate primary field in Ohio in the 2022 race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman.
Fox News has learned that the two-term, libertarian-minded senator from Kentucky and 2016 Republican presidential contender is endorsing Cleveland businessman and 2018 Ohio Republican Senate candidate Mike Gibbons. Mike Gibbons is a liberty minded, fiscal and constitutional conservative who will stand up for our Bill of Rights and to stop our endless wars. Mike will fight the radical liberal policies being pushed by the Biden Administration by championing smaller, limited government principles in D.C., Paul highlighted in an endorsement statement.
Her last day will be Friday. I think family has to come first. My mom is 92 and in Cleveland, and I ve lost a year not seeing her, she said at the end of Tuesday s commissioners meeting. We don t have much time left. . I can t do the position the way I want to do it and the way I feel I need to do it and take care of my family.
With her departure, Commissioners John O’Grady and Kevin Boyce will appoint an interim replacement, likely naming someone in the coming days. By the end of June, the Franklin County Democratic Party’s Central Committee will appoint a permanent replacement to serve out Brown’s term.
