Space faces five challengers in OH-18
We knew this was going to be a hugely contested House seat going into 2008. When the dust cleared after Friday’s filing deadline, Republicans Jeanette Moll, 42, of Zanesville; Beau Bromberg, 38, of Newark; Fred Dailey, 62, of Mount Vernon; and Paul Phillips, 44, of Chillicothe all filed their petitions, putting them in a 5-way race for the 18th district. The Democratic challenger is Mark Pitrone, 53, of Gnadenhutten.
From the Newark Advocate:
All four Republican candidates bring impressive credentials, Spain said. Dailey was the director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture for 16 years in the Voinovich and Taft administrations, and Phillips was a lieutenant colonel after 20 years in the Air Force. Moll is a former magistrate for the Guernsey County Court of Common Pleas, and Bromberg is a Newark business manager.
It’s gonna be flying from all sides to get this seat back to Republicans. But as Zack has said, it doesn’t belong to them. It belongs to the people.
