Ohio Senate Candidate Ganley Goes On The Air In GOP Primary

The Republican primary for Senate in Ohio could be starting to heat up, with anti-establishment candidate Tom Ganley, an auto dealer, launching his new statewide ad buy to introduce himself to the voters.

The ad does not directly attack former Rep. Rob Portman, the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, but simply denounces “the Washington politicians.” The ad focuses on Ganley’s own background in business, his call for lower spending and his opposition to bailouts, and his role in an FBI investigation against organized crime in Ohio.

A Quinnipiac poll from September gave Portman a lead over Ganley — but it was only a 27%-9% leads, with very high undecideds and both candidates largely unknown with the voters.
