Sheriff Jones, Betty Montgomery endorse Portman for U.S. Senate

By William Hershey | Friday, January 15, 2010, 03:58 PM

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones and Betty Montgomery, former Ohio auditor and attorney general, have endorsed Republican Rob Portman for U.S. senator, Portman’s campaign announced on Friday, Jan. 15.

Jones and Montgomery will serve as co-chairs of the Portman for Senate Law Enforcement Coalition, the campaign said.

“Rob Portman understands that we are a nation of laws and that fighting crime requires efforts at all levels of government,” Jones said in a press release.

Portman, a former U.S. House member from suburban Cincinnati, is running against Cleveland-area car dealer Tom Ganley for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher are the Democratic candidates.
