This result is interesting because there are implications for the 35th District Ohio House race...
Phil Beck: 1540 - 52%If this result is any indication of how Minamyer will be received across the district, then we might as well get used to the idea of State Rep. John Rabenold (R-Check'n'Go).
Eric Minamyer: 934 - 31%
Mike Howell: 473 -16%
The strategy against Minamyer was to paint him as arrogant and not receptive to constituent input. And it appears to have worked. Team Minamyer can look forward to similar tactics employed by Team Rabenold from here on in...and if they hope to win, they need a counter-argument that goes beyond Check'n'Go.
Minamyer still looks like a great candidate on paper. The question now is whether or not he can rebound from this setback.
