Folks are lining up for the appointment to the senate seat held by Secretary of State Elect Jon Husted:
From Dayton Daily News:
State Reps. Peggy Lehner, R-Kettering, and Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights, and their supporters have mounted contrasting efforts to win the seat representing the 6th District, which includes most of the Montgomery County suburbs.
Lehner has assembled a portfolio of recommendations from top area government, business, education and health care leaders.
Morgan backers, meanwhile, launched an online petition drive that by Friday had picked up signatures from 498 people across the state. Morgan also provided Senate Republicans with a letter of support signed by leading Ohio social conservatives.
Two other candidates for the seat also are widely known among county Republicans. Dr. David Westbrock, a physician from Washington Twp., twice has run unsuccessfully for the U.S. House and is a vice chairman of the county Republican Party.
