Boyce wins union endorsement
Democrat Kevin Boyce won the endorsement of the Service Employees International Union District 1199 in the state treasurer’s race but the union made its pick before knowing who the other candidates are.
Ohio Republican Party spokesman John McClelland said state Rep. Josh Mandel, R-Lyndhurst, is “seriously considering” running for treasurer in 2010 but he has yet to announce his plans.
Gov. Ted Strickland appointed Boyce state treasurer in January after Democrat Richard Cordray moved from the treasurer’s office to the attorney general’s seat.
SEIU District 1199 represents 35,000 social service, health care and public sector workers in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio.
