Fisher nabs another endorsement
U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson, D-Bridgeport, Wednesday, Aug. 12 announced that he, too, is backing Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate.
He joins the likes of Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan in making the announcement.
“Lee Fisher has been there for the people in my district during these tough economic times, no matter how small the project,” Wilson said in a release sent by the Fisher campaign. “Lee has led economic development efforts throughout Appalachia, and I know he will wake up every day as our next Senator focused on creating jobs for Ohioans and working to rebuild our economy.”
Wilson’s district includes all or part of Scioto, Gallia, Meigs, Athens, Washington, Monroe, Noble, Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson, Columbiana and Mahoning Counties. Fisher faces Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in the Democratic primary to replace Sen. George Voinovich, who will retire at the end of 2010. Republicans Rob Portman, a former U.S. congressman from the Cincinnati region and northeast Ohio businessman Tom Ganley are also running.
