Cong. OH-2 and OH-13: New Candidates?

Thanks to OH-2 Blog for catching this item in Cincinnati Blog, identifying teacher Gabby Downey (D-Milford) as a new candidate in OH-2.

Also, the excellent folks at Ohio13 Blog have been pounding the phones, getting names from county elections boards of those people who have pulled petitions to run for Congress. The problem is that these may not all be actual candidates, but instead just people who pulled petitions on behalf of unnamed candidates. Still, their spade work confirms that Gary Kucinich (D) and Jack Schira (D) are in the race. On the other side, perhaps one or more of these folks are running?

Chuck DeLorean (R)
Paul Lehman (R)
Lawrence Jaycox (R)
David McGrew (R)
Ronald Neal, Jr. (R)
Michael R. Shaw (R)
Richard Bowen (R)
Ruth Nader Abboud (R)

There's some confusion about that last name ... she might be the same person as a certain school board member who is a Democrat(?).
