Earlier this week, Cleveland.com published Seth A. Richardson’s story about Mike Gibbons, who is running for Rob Portman’s Senate seat. It begins:
Mike Gibbons, a Cleveland
investment banker and real estate developer, announced Tuesday he would again
run for Senate after unsuccessfully pursuing the office in 2018.
Gibbons becomes the fourth Republican to
officially enter the 2022 race to succeed retiring Sen. Rob Portman, a
Republican who announced in January he wouldn’t seek a third term. Gibbons has
never held elected office, but ran for Senate in 2018 in an attempt to
challenge Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, losing in the primary to Republican
President Donald Trump’s hand-picked choice, then-Rep. Jim Renacci.
“I’m running for Senate because we
need to get our economy back on track,” Gibbons said in a statement. “We need
to rein in runaway federal spending. We need to secure our borders, stand for
life, and defend our 2nd Amendment rights.”
Gibbons, a Cleveland native who
grew up in Parma, is the senior managing director of Brown Gibbons Lang &
Company, a Cleveland investment firm. He’s been active serving on boards in the
community as well as in Ohio Republican politics, including as Ohio finance
co-chair for Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Read the rest here. It would be nice if Ohio did not replace RINO Portman with another establishment GOP – such as Josh Mandel or Jane Timken.
