Husted won’t say he’ll serve entire term
In St. Paul last week during the Republican National Convention, Ohio Republican Party Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine told a crowd of delegates that he looks forward to working along side his friend, Jon Husted, when Husted runs for Ohio Secretary of State in 2010.
Husted, R-Kettering, is now House Speaker and a candidate for a four year term in the Ohio Senate. Despite the open talk of him running for secretary of state, Husted is mum on it and declined to say whether he’s committed to serving his entire term if elected to the Senate.
“I’m not talking about the future. I’m focused on 2008 now,” Husted said. “I want to finish my job strong as speaker and get elected to the Senate.”
The GOP is keen on recapturing the governor’s office and or secretary of state in 2010 so that the Republican can control the five-member Apportionment Board, which draws legislative districts after each U.S. Census.
