Josh Mandel's Ohio Senate Campaign Staffers Reportedly Quit Because He's Dating His Toxic Campaign

Josh Mandel's Ohio Senate Campaign Staffers Reportedly Quit Because He's Dating His Toxic Campaign Finance Director


Staffers for GOP Ohio Senate hopeful Josh Mandel's campaign have been quitting because of how his campaign finance director — who also is his girlfriend — is treating people, reports say.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that three staff members said adios to the campaign in the spring, and sources tell the newspaper that it's due to the tense, potentially abusive environment that campaign finance director Rachel Wilson creates.

According to the Dispatch, two of the three staffers who quit did so because of Wilson's demand for regular 12-hour workdays and her berating employees. "Finance staff members cried in the office on a regular basis," a source told the Dispatch.

The newspaper also reports that Mandel and Wilson frequently had "blow-out arguments" about campaign issues.

If Mandel handles his campaign staff so poorly, imagine how he would treat his legislative staff if he were elected.
