Minamyer for State Rep.

Well, Tom Blumer is off the hook...

On the show last night, Tom reported that there was a dude running for the 35th District that was a lobbyist for the pay day lending industry and Mark and I immediately asked if Tom was announcing his candidacy on TIB Radio...

Tom emailed me this morning to say that Eric Minamyer has indeed already announced his candidacy for this seat so Tom will not have to run.

We got to know Eric a bit when he ran against Jean Schmidt in the special election to replace Rob Portman. He is extremely capable and just the sort of man we could use in Columbus.

The seat he is running for is currently occupied by the term limited Michelle Schneider.
