Good guy. Too bad he couldnt push Chabot out of his OH-1 seat.

Yep. Ohio was/is so gerrymandered it is near impossible to elect a D in Southern Ohio except for Cincinnati City elections. He would have sent Steve Combover to the bench if it had been a fairly drawn district, but the state legislature persists in dividing Cincinnati into two different congressional districts, each surrounded by enough blood red rural/suburban areas to drown out the blue dot that is Cincinnati. So proud of the work he is doing as Mayor. Love Aftab!

Possibly PA.
