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

So that’s the list of republicans that support this candidate. How about some of the teabaggers? They support him, or does Rush Limbaugh/Palin support him? Come back with some real news next time. With end fighting in the republican party, it’s hard to see just what faction supports whom.

Betty Montgomery is a looser. Why does the GOP keep using these people as if anyone cares about them. Betty lost her last election because the citizens wanted new fresh GOP faces and putting her mug out front doesn’t help.
