Jim Renacci in the news

 

Michael P. Ramirez cartoon

Jeremy Pelzer at cleveland.com has the scoop, and it’s not particularly inspiring:

Jim Renacci, a former congressman who unsuccessfully challenged U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown in 2018, announced late Wednesday afternoon he intends to run against fellow Republican Gov. Mike DeWine next year.

Renacci, a Wadsworth resident who briefly ran for governor in 2018 before switching to the Senate race, is the highest-profile primary challenger yet to DeWine. Renacci, like many other conservatives, has been a vocal critic of DeWine’s coronavirus policies.

. . .

Except Mr. Renacci is not much of a conservative. 

Renacci, who often decries what he calls “career politicians,” started his political career in 1999 as the Wadsworth city council president. He eventually became mayor from 2004 to 2008.

Jim Renacci : insider


Following-up on Presidents’ Day, here's a post from Cleveland Tea Party’s Ralph King via FB, on Jim Renacci, who is apparently still looking forward to running again for office:

Happy Presidents' Day!

I am proud to have stood with @RealDonaldTrump from DAY ONE, a President who:
✅   Cuts taxes.
✅   Cuts regulations..
✅   Defeated ISIS.
✅   Rebuilt the military.
✅  Fights everyday to Keep America Great for ALL Americans!

Ralph comments:

Again Jim "The Swamper" Renacci showing he can never tell the truth! I was involved with Trump campaign from the first days in Ohio! Slickster Jim was nowhere to be found!

Slickster Jim Renacci the Swamper didn't come out and support President Trump until after he pretty much had the nomination secured. If memory serves me correctly, it was a little bit before the RNC Convention. Far from "Day One" as he claims.

Jim even admits in his own words in an interview with Juan Williams he did not support President Trump from Day One....

“No, I actually stayed out of it,” Renacci, when asked by Fox News commentator Juan Williams if he had supported Kasich during the primaries, responded during a July 2016 interview at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. “I really am a believer that we needed to see the party make this decision. I was a business guy for 28 years. I’ve only been in Congress five and a half years. I started to realize that the people are frustrated — I’m frustrated, they’re frustrated; let’s see who they decide to pick. And clearly they wanted an outsider.”

Remember Renacci’s early TV ads in his unsuccessful 2018 run for the US Senate?  He was wearing a hunting vest or jacket to portray himself as an “outsider.”

From Andrew J. Tobias at cleveland.com (posted yesterday):

The two major candidates for this year's Ohio Senate race will debate in Cleveland next month, organizers for the event announced Monday.

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and his Republican challenger, Rep. Jim Renacci, have agreed to debate at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14 in Cleveland, about three weeks before the November election.

The debate will be held at the Westfield Insurance studio theater at the Idea Center in Playhouse Square, according to the nonpartisan Ohio Debate Commission, which is organizing the event.

Two veteran journalists -- Ann Fisher, of WOSU public radio in Columbus and Russ Mitchell, anchor at WKYC-TV in Cleveland -- will serve as moderators. Tickets for the event are free, and organizers say more information about how to attend will be posted on their website, www.ohiodebatecommission.org, on Tuesday.

Stay tuned.
