OH Sen. 23: Miller (D) to Replace Brady (D)

In a realignment of term-limited legislators, State Sen. Dan Brady (D-Cleveland) of the 23rd District will resign to take a municipal position as utilities advisor to Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson (D), and State Rep. Dale Miller (D-Cleveland) of the 14th District will be appointed to replace him. Miller, already positioned as a candidate for the 23rd District Senate seat, will therefore run as an incumbent, albeit a newly-appointed one. Ed Fitzgerald (D-Cleveland) has been identified as an opponent to Miller in the Democratic primary for that post. Democratic hopefuls for the open 14th District seat in the Ohio House include Christopher Corrigan, Michael Foley, Fran Lally, Brian Mooney, and William Ritter.
