Brunner to join law firm, form PAC to focus on finance reform
Outgoing Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, next month plans to hook up with her husband Rick’s Columbus law firm and also form a PAC - political action committee - focusing on finance reform - including mortgage foreclosures -, the state budget and other issues.
As to whether she might again seek statewide office, Brunner, 53, said Thursday:
“At this point in time, it’s too far off.”
Instead of seeking re-election this year, Brunner ran for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination and lost to Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher. Fisher lost in the general election to Republican Rob Portman.
Brunner expressed no regrets.
The Senate campaign “gave me the privilege to talk with Ohioans about a broader range of issues,” Brunner said.
Republican Jon Husted, a state senator from Kettering, was elected to succeed her as secretary of state.

Thought she would work for ACORN since she vehemently coddled them thru Obama’s election. Great news she is finally gone even if she will be chasing ambulances..
