Lt. Gov. gets endorsement love

By Jessica Wehrman | Monday, July 6, 2009, 05:40 PM

Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in 2010, claimed 10 endorsements from female members of the Ohio General Assembly Monday, July 6, according to his campaign.

They are: state Sens. Sue Morano, D-Lorain, and Nina Turner, D-Cleveland; and state Reps. Linda Bolon, D-Columbiana, Barbara Boyd, D-Cleveland, Edna Brown, D-Toledo, Denise Driehaus, D-Cincinnati, Nancy Garland, D-Gahanna, Marian Harris, D-Columbus, Sandra Stabile Harwood, D-Niles and Connie Pillich, D-Montgomery.

Fisher faces Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner for the Democratic nomination in the race to succeed Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, who is retiring. Former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman, R-Terrace Park, is also running.

Fisher already has received endorsements from U.S. Rep. Zack Space, D-Dover and Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, among others.
