Cong OH-15: Pryce (R) To Give Up Leadership Role

The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that even if Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-Upper Arlington) survives her deadlocked re-election battle with Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Columbus), she will give up her GOP leadership post as chair of the House Republican Conference. In a letter sent to Republican colleagues today, Pryce says that she is confident of winning but sees a need to focus her time and attention on the district over the next two years to "ensure this seat remains safely in Republican hands."
