GOP Ohio Secretary Of State Launches US Senate Bid

Cleveland’s Fox affiliate reports:

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has officially announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, according to a spokesperson for LaRose’s campaign. Early Monday morning, LaRose, an Akron native and Ohio State graduate, filed paperwork with federal elected officials.

According to the release, LaRose is focused on “restoring Ohio’s voice in values to the Senate while highlighting his proven statewide leadership and conservative voting record.”

LaRose enters a field that includes state Senator Matt Dolan and businessman Bernie Moreno. The winner of the GOP primary will likely go against Senator Sherrod Brown, a three-term democrat and what is expected to be one of the most expensive senate battles in 2024.
