Cong. OH-13: Republican Primary Looking Very Crowded

The Cleveland Plain Dealer covers Lorain Mayor Craig Foltin's entry into the Republican primary in Ohio's 13th Congressional District here. Foltin indicates that local and national Republican leaders urged him to put his hat into the ring. In the general election, at least, Foltin plans to play down his Republican affiliation and seek votes from independents and Democrats. The Republican field that Foltin enters is already rather crowded. Other contenders are attorney David McGrew (R-Akron), businessman Joe Ortega III (R-Strongsville), car dealer Charles DeLorean (R-Medina), and Anthony Cirino (R-Avon).
