Ganley starts TV ads in Ohio — and not to sell cars
Republican Tom Ganley, a Cleveland area car dealer, launched a statewide television ad campaign in his bid to upset GOP favorite Rob Portman for the Ohio Republican Party nomination for U.S. Senate next spring.
The 60-second ad talks about Ganley’s ability to create jobs and his character, according to his campaign. Ganley owns 32 auto dealerships as well as finance and insurance companies that together employ more than 1,000 workers.
Portman, a former Congressman and Bush White House budget director, and Ganley will face off in a primary in May 2010. The winner will go against the Democratic party nominee — either Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner or Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher.
All four are vying to replace Republican George Voinovich, who is retiring.
