ASHLAND - A well-known former football player and legislator has endorsed Kirk Schuring's candidacy.
Dick Schafrath, former state Senator and an offensive lineman for the Ohio State University and the Cleveland Browns, is showing his support on Ashland radio for Schuring in the 16th Congressional District race. The recorded ad begins this week on Ashland County radio stations.
"Having someone with the credibility of Dick Schafrath join my team is exciting," Schuring, R-Jackson Township, said.
Schafrath has lived in the district and knows the people and the issues that affect them, Schuring said.
"Not only do residents remember Dick as one tough football player, but he served the Ashland County area well as an elected legislator. He is well respected for what he's accomplished as an athlete, a Senator and a person.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dick Schafrath and what he stands for, and I am truly grateful for his public support in this race," Schuring said.
