COLUMBUS, OHIO – Ohio Democratic Party spokesman Andrew Zucker released the following statement today on Josh Mandel’s Lima campaign event with Republican Party boss Sen. Jim DeMint.
“As Josh Mandel tries desperately to feign independence from his party, today’s campaign event with Republican Party boss Jim DeMint is another stark reminder that Josh Mandel voted with Republicans 96 percent of the time in the state legislature, toes the party line on every single major issue and would be nothing more than a rubber stamp for party bosses and fat-cat lobbyists if he were ever elected Senator. The facts remain that Josh Mandel can’t be trusted to hire qualified staff, show up for work, think for himself or fight for Ohio jobs.”
