Ohio Republican Nepotism

Anti-gun former US Senator Mike DeWine is running for Ohio Attorney General. Until two weeks ago, pro-gun Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost was going to run for Attorney General, but no longer. The Ohio Republican party get Dave Yost its blessing and support to run for Auditor of State.

Coincidence? Hardly. The Ohio Republican party chairman is Kevin DeWine, Mike DeWine's cousin.

Why is Mike DeWine's anti-gun position so important? The Attorney General is the central office overseeing information on the concealed carry permit program (although it is the sheriff's who approve the permits). And the current Democrat Attorney General, Richard Cordray, (former Franklin County Treasurer) is pro-gun.

There is now a new Republican primary challenger to Mike DeWine, pro-gun Hardin County attorney Steve Christopher.

I am hoping for the choice between two pro-gun candidates. But if Mike DeWine is the Rrepublican nominee, a vote to Richard Cordray is a no-brainer.
