MIDDLETOWN — Former two-term Middletown City Commissioner and local businessman Paul Nenni announced Thursday that he'll be seeking the Republican nomination for the 53rd Ohio House seat.I had been hearing that there was going to be a candidate announcement out of the 53rd, and I am pretty sure that this is it...
Nenni, a certified public accountant, will be seeking the seat currently held by four-term state Rep. Shawn Webster of Hanover Twp., who will be barred from seeking re-election due to term limits.
Nenni said he has spent the time focusing on his family and business since leaving the city commission in 1999.
Now that his two daughters are older, Nenni said he has "a lot of free time now."
"I have a desire to do it plus the availability to be in Columbus, three, four or five days a week," he said.
Nenni believes his 34 years of business experience, his accounting background and his patriotism from his Marine Corps service makes him a good, honest and caring politician for the county he lives in.
He gets my support with this comment:
"We need new blood in Columbus," Nenni said. "We need people who can hit the ground running and to get the job done."Couldn't have said it better myself...
