Tom Ganley was running for the senate until the republican party elites endorsed and funded Rob Portman and informed Ganley he was polling well against Betty Sutton. Tom then "decided all on his own" to switch races and run for the house.
After contacting his campaign and signing up as a volunteer I was "deeply saddened" he was persuaded switched to the house. Thankfully, only a week had passed and I had not yet sent a check for his senate race.
He is fantastic...strong 3 legged conservative...self made man/millionaire with a love of country. His TV campaign ads in the area were great! He would have made a great senator from Ohio and after the morons we have had he would have been a welcome relief.
Having Ganley in the House would be better than not having him in congress at all, but I would have preferred a Senator Ganley.
It was a good move. He’ll need to spend that money to beat Sutton. We wouldn’t have a decent shot at that seat otherwise.
