Cong. OH-18th: Sulzer (D) Scores Big Endorsements
In the Democratic primary to determine an opponent for embattled Rep. Bob Ney (R-Heath), Chillicothe Mayor Joe Sulzer (D) has received a big boost over rivals Zack Space (D-Dover) and Jennifer Stewart (D-Zanesville) in the form of an endorsement by two newspapers, the Zanesville Times-Recorder and the Coshocton Tribune. The editorial boards of the related newspapers interviewed candidates as a group but voted separately on endorsements. In identically-worded editorials published today, the papers note that Democrats have not only a chance to topple Ney but to take charge of the House of Representatives after a dozen years in the minority. Although praising Space and Stewart as "bright, articulate and engaging," the papers pick Sulzer as "the best choice for Democrats in Ohio's 18th Congressional District." (The fourth candidate, Ralph Applegate (D-Columbus), is dismissed as "a perennial candidate with no Web site, no funds and no chance of winning.")
The editors were influenced by Sulzer's experience as mayor, Vietnam veteran, and former state legislator. They describe his "impressively detailed and comprehensive" plans to deal with "key issues" such as government negotiation for lower prescription prices under Medicare, federal help for building roads, sewers and high-speed Internet access in rural Ohio, unfair free trade agreements, and redeploying American troops to the Iraqi borders.
In comparison to Sulzer, the editors regard Space as "a strong challenger to Ney" but "not as seasoned" and lacking "legislative experience," and see Stewart as "knowledgeable and passionate" but having "little to offer in terms of national defense, immigration reform and the economy, other than to say they were complex issues."
The sprawling 18th District reaches into 16 counties in southeastern Ohio. The Republican primary pits incumbent Ney against financial analyst and political novice James B. Harris (R-Zanesville).
