Josh Mandel Wins Tea Party Nod In Ohio Senate Bid – Forward

Category: Tea Party

WASHINGTON (JTA) A powerful conservative Republican political action committee endorsed Josh Mandel, the state treasurer of Ohio, in his bid to unseat incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown.

The Tea Party Express said in a statement Wednesday that Mandel epitomizes the new face of conservative Republicans, and we couldnt be more proud to support his campaign.

Tea Party groups backed Mandels previous bid to unseat Brown, in 2012, citing his fiscal conservatism as state treasurer.

Mandel, a Marines veteran who served in Iraq, announced his bid in December with a 2-minute YouTube video that starts by noting that one grandparent served in the U.S. military during World War II and two others survived the Holocaust.

Im here today because they all won their fights, he said.

Mandel, who shied away from Donald Trumps presidential campaign, has since then adopted some of the presidents rhetoric, deriding a rigged system and political correctness.
