Dayton-area Dems endorse Fisher in U.S. Senate race

Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher on Tuesday, Nov. 17, announced endorsements from Dayton-area Democrats in his bid for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in 2010.

He is running against Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner for the nomination.

Fisher announced endorsements from:

State Senator Fred Strahorn, D-Dayton

State Representative Clayton Luckie, D-Dayton

State Representative Roland Winburn, D-Harrison Twp.

Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck

Huber Heights Mayor Ronald A. Fisher

Riverside Mayor Johnnie Doan

Springfield Mayor Warren Copeland

Trotwood Mayor Darreyl D. Davis

Wilmington Mayor David Raizk

“Ohio’s hard-working families need an advocate in Washington D.C. who will look out for their best interests and work to improve their quality,” Strahorn said in a press release.

“With Lee in the U.S. Senate, Ohio will finally have two senators committed to ensuring that our state becomes a clean energy pioneer, bringing thousands of new jobs and revitalizing our economy.”

Fisher said he welcomed the endorsements.

Former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman of suburban Cincinnati and Cleveland-area car dealer Tom Ganley are seeking the Republican nomination.

The race is for the seat now held by Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, who is retiring and not seeking re-election.
