Two days after being sworn-in to a new term, on Cincinnati council member has his sights set on a bigger office.

The Enquirer reports Democrat John Cranley says he wants to run against Republican Congressman Steve Chabot next year.

This wouldn't be Cranley's first time taking a shot at Congress.

He ran against Chabot in 2000, winning 45% of the vote.

The Enquirer says Cranley filed papers with the Federal Election Commission creating a congressional campaign committee.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Government; Politics/Elections; US: Ohio
KEYWORDS: 109th; 2006; chabot; cincinnati; congress; cranley; ohio; prolife
Among other things, the article does not say that Cranley repeatedly promised in numerous public events that he was commited to a full term on Council. Chabot has won his last two races against a relative unknown (the same person) with 65% and 60% of the vote respectively.

For a Demoncrat, I like John. Cincinnati like all Urban areas has become a Democratic stronghold. John was one of the few reasonable members of the last council and the highest vote getter in the recent election. It may have gone to his head.

Next congressional election I will vote to keep him on council.
