Pepper expected to run statewide
Hamilton County Commissioner David Pepper is expected to announce he’ll run for statewide office in 2010 at a press conference Tuesday, May 12, at Ohio Democratic Party headquarters in Columbus.
Gov. Ted Strickland, who has been looking for someone to join his 2010 ticket as lieutenant governor, will also speak at the press conference.
Party Chairman Chris Redfern declined to say whether Pepper is Strickland’s pick for lieutenant governor candidate.
Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher is running for U.S. Senate in 2010 and faces a primary against Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and state Rep. Tyrone Yates.
Pepper served on the Cincinnati City Council beginning in 2002 and was elected to the Hamilton County Commission in 2006.
