OH-18: Bennett (R) Also Out of Primary

And then there were five.

John Bennett (R-Cambridge), a former aide to Rep. Bob Ney, has joined Mayor Richard Homrighausen (R-Dover) in the exodus from the September 14 special primary election in Ohio's 18th Congressional District. That leaves only County Commissioner Ray Feikert (R-Millersburg), prolific emailer James Brodbelt Harris (R-Zanesville), perennial candidate Ralph Applegate (?-Columbus), and sentimental favorite Jerry "Old Fogey" Firman (R-Coshocton) to contend against hand-picked successor State Sen. Joy Padgett (R-Coschocton).
