Ohio Senate Candidate Josh Mandel Pocketed Donations Intended for 2018 GOP Nominee, Paid Tens of Thousands to Mistress
Big League Politics ^ | Oct 9 | Richard Moorhead

Ohio Republican Senate candidate Josh Mandel paid tens of thousands of dollars to a woman he was dating during his 2018 Senate campaign, while married to another woman.

FEC reports show that Rachel Wilson, Mandel’s finance director and mistress, was paid more than $100,000 between his 2018 campaign and a PAC supporting his candidacy.

It’s widely known that Mandel was in an affair with Wilson at the time. He ended his campaign citing his wife’s health, later divorcing her in 2020 to continue his affair with Wilson.

Three dozen Republican women, including three women who left Mandel’s campaign citing a toxic work environment created by Wilson in her continuing duties with Mandel’s 2020 campaign, have urged Ohio Republicans to reject Mandel, warning he’ll “embarrass” the party if nominated as a candidate for the US Senate. Mandel has run for statewide office five times in the past 12 years, with some Ohio Republicans criticizing Mandel, who has served in elected office since 2003, as a career politician who’ll put on the act he needs to in pursuit of the next political gig.

Mandel is the real GOPe - in office since 2003 and will suck up to anyone to get elected.

He is a Bushie league Republican

Vance is a fresh face, at least

Personal life aside, the GOPe has to destroy Mandel, since he’s the best Conservative candidate running

If he's the best, I'd hate to see the worst.

Against Sherrod he was probably presented with pictures and suggestions made that he might better end his campaign. The second time he has been simply outed as he has not learned from the first time.

I would go with JD Vance.

NO! Vance talks a good game, but he will be another Portman if gets elected. He has NO record, no experience in government, so he will necessarily as much a puppet of the GOPe as Biden is of Teh Halfrican.

Now trying desperately to hide his venomous anti-Trump tweets and his support for Hillary in 2016

Mandel did very well as Ohio State Treasurer, and will be a voice for fiscal sanity in the Senate.

Much better. Hopefully, this will put him out of the race.

If Mandell cheats on his wife, he will surely cheat on us. I said the same thing about slick Willy.
