Former Treasurer Josh Mandel and wife, Ilana, divorce, records kept sealed

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Two years after shocking fellow Republicans by dropping out of the U.S. Senate race for family reasons, former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel has gone to another county to get a divorce and have the records sealed.

When he left the race, Mandel said his wife had “a health issue that will require my time, attention and presence.” The move caught Ohio Republicans completely off guard, scrambling to field an opponent against Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. Then-U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, a Wadsworth Republican, eventually won the nomination before losing handily to Brown.

snip-"Michael Shaughnessy first learned about the group when he drove past a group of protesters outside an earlier Koch gathering in Rancho Mirage, Calif. He asked his friend Josh Mandel, Ohio’s state treasurer, about the group and eventually got an invitation to one of their meetings. He now organizes his own twice-yearly meetings to recruit other Cleveland-area conservatives to join the broader Koch network."

From samplegirls article.--
snip-"Since then, Mandel has kept a low profile. He scrubbed all of his social media in 2019. Mandel still has an active federal campaign account with more than $4.2 million in its coffers. That includes nearly $700,000 in contributions from this cycle, mostly in the form of returns on investments."

snip-"The news is another surprise in both Mandel’s political and personal life. Over the past decade, he has cultivated a political image of a staunch conservative, often featuring his family in campaign ads and literature. A photo of the family still adorns Mandel’s website, which currently includes just a short biography."
