| Description | U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown confirmed to The Blade today that he will challenge incumbent Mike DeWine for a U.S. Senate seat in 2006, setting the stage for a Democratic primary fight.
The Congressman from suburban Cleveland said his family supports his decision, which he plans to announce formally in three weeks.
The move sets up a primary: An aide to another potential Democratic challenger, Iraq war veteran and former Congressional candidate Paul Hackett, said today that Mr. Hackett still plans to enter the Senate race officially on Oct. 24.
Mr. DeWine said today he did not care who his opponent would be, and that he was more focused on President Bush’s new Supreme Court nominee than on re-election.
“Ohio has always been a very competitive state, and I’m sure it will be like that” in this election, Mr. DeWine said. |
