Brunner campaign “takes it to the streets” in Senate campaign
Jennifer Brunner’s U.S. Senate campaign will “take it to the streets” statewide this weekend, the campaign announced on Wednesday, Jan. 6.
The two-day statewide canvass to meet “friends and neighbors” will be on Saturday, Jan. 9, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Sunday, Jan. 10, from 1:30-4:30 p.m. at locations across the state, her campaign said.

Brunner, Ohio secretary of state, is running for the Democratic nomination against Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican George Voinovich who is retiring.
Rob Portman, a former U.S. House member from suburban Cincinnati, and Cleveland-area car dealer Tom Ganley are seeking the GOP nomination.

Portman opens statewide headquarters for U.S. Senate campaign
With a promise to focus “like a laser” on jobs and the economy, Republican Rob Portman on Thursday, Jan. 7, opened his statewide U.S. Senate campaign headquarters in Columbus.
An estimated 200 Portman backers packed the suite of offices about four miles from downtown Columbus, despite an escalating snow storm outside.
The weather was reminiscent of the launch of Portman’s campaign nearly a year ago on Jan. 14 at the historic Golden Lamb in Lebanon.
Portman, a former U.S. House member from suburban Cincinnati and former trade representative and budget director under President George W. Bush, is the state Republican party’s endorsed candidate but faces a primary challenge from Cleveland-area car dealer Tom Ganley.
State Republican Chairman Kevin DeWine of Fairborn told the crowd that Portman was part of the “best slate of candidates that Republicans” have had in Ohio in more than a generation.
“I agree with what Chairman DeWine said,” said Portman. “This is going to be a good year.”
Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner are seeking the Democratic nomination.
The race is for the seat being vacated by Republican U.S. Sen. George Voinovich who is retiring.
