Mike Carey led a crowded field of Republicans vying to replace Steve Stivers in the 15th District special election in early, unofficial results Tuesday night.
Carey, a coal lobbyist endorsed by former President Donald Trump, led with about 36% of the 6,529 votes counted by 8 p.m. State Rep. Jeff LaRe was behind him with about 17% of the vote, followed by state Sen. Bob Peterson with about 16% of the vote.

As an aside, when posting about local elections it's usually a good idea to say in the title what the state is so those of us unfamiliar with the race will have some context. I assumed it was Ohio because the article mentioned Columbus, but I had to Google Carey's name to verify.
Ohio voters are showing themselves to be smarter than Utah and SC voters.
Dominion machines being used?
it took 6 posts before someone asked the right question...lol.....Good job!

He has to stop endorsing Bush League Republicans that got us into this mess.
Good deal. 🙂
