Description | Entering an election year that offers Democrats their best shot in 16 years at ending Republican dominance of state goverment, the Ohio Democratic Party appears poised for a shake-up.
Dennis L. White acknowledged yesterday that he might resign as the party’s state chairman before his term expires in June. If that happens, former U.S. Rep. Dennis Eckart, of Cleveland, and Montgomery County Democratic Chairman Dennis A. Lieberman said they want the job.
And Eckart said he will challenge White if he decides to run for another four-year term as chairman.
White, 51, said he plans to talk with the party’s two candidates for governor, Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman and U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland, of Lisbon, about whether he should continue as chairman.
"I’ve not made a decision," White said. "I’ve got to sit down with Mr. Coleman and Mr. Strickland. . . . Either one of them is going to be my governor, and I’ll support them in whatever they decide they want me to do. I’m going to do what’s best for the party." |
