35th Ohio House Update: Another Republican Joins the Race

Over at Politics Extra, the Cincinnati Enquirer's political blog, we discover yet another name thrown in to the ring to replace outgoing State Representative Tom Brinkman, who is term-limited and running in the primary for the Second Congressional District against incumbent US Rep. Jean Schmidt and former Hammilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich.

Anderson Township lawyer Peter Stautberg joins another Anderson Township lawyer, Greg Delev, and Anderson Township trustee Russ Jackson in what is sure to be a circus of a primary. The eventual winner gets to take on Jeff Sinnard (D) in the general and should win pretty easily as the district is heavily Republican.
