OH-07: "Young Guns" May Support Austria

Here is some interesting news from PolitickerCA:
The National Republican Congressional Committee, with which the Young Guns is affiliated, has largely taken the tack of remaining neutral in party primaries. But in some instances this cycle House members have taken the lead in backing primary candidates.

...

The organization will be coming together later on this month to decide on its next steps, including which new candidates to add to its support network. In addition to the 14 candidates the organization has said publicly it is supporting, McCarthy said Louisiana 6th Congressional District candidate Bill Cassidy, Ohio 6th Congressional District candidate Steve Austria, Alabama 2nd Congressional District candidate Jay Love, and Connecticut 5th Congressional District candidate David Cappiello would be discussed as possible future beneficiaries.
Emphasis added.

Our friends in California have misidentified Austria's district (OH-07 not OH-06), but the news is encouraging nonetheless.

I should point out that the Young Guns includes WMD favorite Eric Cantor amongst it's membership...
