Ganley Switches Races to Challenge Sutton
Wealthy car dealer Tom Ganley (R) is dropping out of the open-seat Ohio Senate race and will challenge Rep. Betty Sutton (D) in the 13th district instead, according to a source familiar with the decision.
The Ganley switch is a coup for Republicans because it gives former Rep. Rob Portman
a clear path to the GOP Senate nomination and could put another
Democratic-held House seat into play. A recent internal GOP poll showed
Ganley leading Sutton by 3 points.
