Rep. Jim Renacci (R-Ohio) is joining the race for Ohio governor in 2018, vowing to end “pay for play” economic policies and aligning himself closely with President Trump.

He is the second declared GOP candidate in the race, after Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor.
Other GOP names circulating as likely candidates are Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, there are three declared candidates including former state Rep. Connie Pillich, Ohio Senate Minority Leader Joe Schiavoni and former Rep. Betty Sutton.
In 2012, after redistricting in Ohio made Sutton’s district more GOP-leaning, Renacci defeated her by a few points.

All he needs is a shout-out and pat on the back from Trump and his opponents are toast.
Well known in the Cleveland area - at least I’ve been hearing his name for the past 5-6 years.

One shout out won’t do it.

Exactly. Our task here is perfectly clear: not DeWine.
