Former Rep. Jim Renacci (R-OH) announced Wednesday that he will challenge Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the Buckeye State’s 2022 gubernatorial primary.
Renacci, who previously ran for governor in the state in 2017 and later dropped out to run for U.S. Senate, made the announcement on WTAM 1100, a local radio station.
“Ohio cannot afford for Mike DeWine to be the governor anymore,” Renacci said in an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer on Wednesday. “My path may have been diverted in 2018, but my will really to change Ohio was not.”
“In Mike DeWine’s Ohio, our state has lost ground. Corruption is up. We’re ranked No. 1 and our state can’t compete in the national economy,” Renacci added.
Renacci also insisted that, should he receive the opportunity to talk with him, former President Donald Trump will see that he has a “really good opportunity” to defeat DeWine.
“Trump is still a friend,” said Renacci, who currently serves as chairman of the Medina County Republican Party. “I think in the end if I get an opportunity to talk with him, which I’m hoping to be able to do that, he’ll see that Jim Renacci has a really good opportunity.”

I don't know if he'd be any better than Dictator DeWine or The Son Of A Mailman.
Renacci is a rino snoozefest. Might as well stick with DeWine if that’s the choice. I’m voting for Joe Blystone the farmer.
No more rinos. If the dem wins, so be it.
I’m voting for Blystone as well.
Screw RINOs.
sadly, thats what we got
RINOs are worse than Democrats because RINOs, through the power of incumbency, prevent true conservatives from being elected. They are insidious.

Exactly.
I often think about how different Ohio would have been if Ken Blackwell had been elected gov. instead of Kasich.
He was a very uninspiring replacement for Senate in 2018 and he went nowhere.
Trading milquetoast for milquetoast.
Kasich, Boehner, Portman, Gonzalez, Stivers...they are legion.
Renacci spoke to our Tea Party in 2016. No one was impressed.
For all of those keeping score at home - DeWiner really screwed Jon Husted on the Governor’s Race.
Mikey was hinting that he would not run for re-election in 2022. Then DeWiner waits until Portman announces that he is retiring before running in 2022.
Husted could have run for Senate if he knew DeWiner was going to stab him in the back. This is going to get ugly.

Couldn’t happen to 2 nicer guys.
hell, I miss trafficant
Somebody beam me up.
Husted can still run for Senate. Nothing’s stopping him. Portman’s seat will be open, there for the GOP taking. DeWine is unpopular among conservatives and Renacci has been vocal in his criticism. He could give Dewine a good run in the primary.
SB256 wins Renacci the primary and general. See www.ohiocsf.com
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
