Democrat wants speaker seat

Ohio House Minority Leader Chris Redfern, an outspoken and articulate critic of the scandal-ridden Ohio Republican Party, announced this week he intends to be the next House speaker. Redfern, a Catawba Island Democrat, is signaling on one hand his decision not to seek statewide office. He had been testing the waters for taking a run at state auditor. But he is also anticipating wild success for his party in the 2006 elections - enough for it to add 11 seats to the 39 that Democrats now hold and, therefore, become the House majority. The speaker is elected from the majority party by fellow legislators in the 99-member House.
