Description | COLUMBUS, Ohio - State Auditor Mary Taylor will not seek re-election and instead will be introduced Thursday as the running mate for Republican gubernatorial hopeful John Kasich, a GOP source told The Plain Dealer.
Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols would not confirm or deny that Taylor would be introduced this week as Kasich's lieutenant governor candidate.
But a Republican source said Kasich made the offer, Taylor accepted and a formal announcement will come on Thursday afternoon.
For Kasich, Taylor offers diversity for his ticket, a bright, young, female politician from Northeast Ohio where Republican support is more scarce than in Central Ohio where Kasich lives.
But she has limitations, too. She is not a strong fund-raiser, which was apparent by her noticeably slow start to her re-election campaign last summer against challenger Democrat David Pepper, a Hamilton County commissioner.
And despite holding a statewide office, she is not widely known. Democrats also question her work ethic, saying she is too rarely heard from as auditor unless she is criticizing Strickland. |
