Ohio needs Mike Crites to clean up the mess made by Marc Dann, and set the AGs office in Ohio down the right path once more. From Dayton Daily News:
Blame Marc Dann.
For the sexual harassment scandal in his office? Well, that too. But Dann’s resignation and fall from grace is also the reason Ohioans are voting for an attorney general to fill out the remaining two years on Dann’s original four-year term.
The choice is between Republican Mike Crites, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Democrat Rich Cordray, who is now state treasurer. Cordray, who reported having $1.9 million on hand when the race started, has a big fundraising lead, but Crites says he’ll be competitive.
“I would not be here today … if I thought I was the sacrificial lamb of the Republican Party,” he said last month.
