New candidate emerges in crowded field as possible replacement for Vance's Ohio Senate seat

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine is considering an Ohio attorney and Trump surrogate to fill Vice President-elect JD Vance’s Senate seat once he vacates the position and moves on to the White House, Fox News Digital has learned.

Attorney Mehek Cooke, a Republican attorney who served as a political and legal surrogate for Trump in 2024, is under consideration to be chosen to fill Vance’s seat, a source familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital.

Cooke, who ran for Ohio House of Representatives in 2020, spent time as the assistant chief counsel in the Ohio governor's office from 2012 to 2014 and in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio, where she handled criminal cases involving corruption, terrorism, drug trafficking, asset forfeiture, and money laundering.

Cooke, a wife and mother of two, was born in India and immigrated legally to the United States with her family at the age of 5. Cooke is also the founder and President of American Frontier Strategies and has worked as a political consultant and commentator across the state of Ohio.

I would like Hillary to live long enough for a qualified, conservative woman be elected president. Does anyone have a barely used holographic glass ceiling available from a used hubris store?

Don’t we have enough hotties already?
I say go for Jim Jordan. Whatever shows we’re not messing’ around. Then there’s the safe one that lost in a primary. I don’t trust DeWine. You shouldn’t either. Vivek doesn’t do it for me.

Think for a minute. If Trump pushes term limits Jordan’s on borrowed time. Give him 12+ years in the senate.

Agree with all you said. Plus she’s gorgeous, half Indian like Ramaswamy’s and Vance’s wife. Should get a lot of tv interviews.

I imagine that she will have to compete with Harmeet Dhillon for that title.
