Statehouse candidate crashes Ohio GOP press conference

A press conference called by the Ohio Republican Party to highlight Democratic Statehouse candidate David Sparks’ alleged past drug use and “sexually explicit” YouTube videos was interrupted Monday by Sparks himself.

Ohio GOP officials, including Speaker of the Ohio House Cliff Rosenberger and Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges, called the conference to tout the re-election campaign of 43rd District Rep. Jeff Rezabek, R-Clayton, and denounce Sparks, who acknowledged he used crack cocaine “30 years ago.”
