Yost to announce for auditor on Monday
Delaware County Auditor Dave Yost will announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination for state auditor on Monday, Jan. 25, setting up a possible primary with state Rep. Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights.
Matt Borges, Yost’s spokesman, confirmed the announcement plans on Sunday.
The announcement will come at a news conference at 2:30 p.m. at Ohio Republican Party headquarters in Columbus, a sign of the support Yost has from state Republican Chairman Kevin DeWine, who asked Yost to consider getting in the auditor’s race.
Yost has been running for the GOP nomination for attorney general against former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine of Cedarville, Kevin DeWine’s cousin.
The possibility that Yost would leave the AG’s race and give that nomination to Mike DeWine has upset some anti-Mike DeWine conservative Republicans, including some in the Tea Party movement.
Morgan remains in the race, said Rob Scott, Morgan’s spokesman.
“We welcome the challenge,” said Scott.
The state GOP was faced with finding a candidate for auditor after Republican incumbent Auditor Mary Taylor became Republican gubernatorial candidate John Kasich’s lieutenant governor running mate.
Hamilton County Commissioner David Pepper is the Democratic candidate for auditor.
