Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley on Monday announced she is running for governor for a second time and vowed tough action to fix political corruption in Columbus and create better wages and jobs for working Ohioans.
Whaley said Ohio has had the same corrupt politicians in power for the last three decades, but if elected she will fight for ethics reform and wage an anti-corruption crusade.

(4,465 posts)They all were discouraged from running so Cordray could have a go at it. Maybe this time, the Ohio Dem Party will leave the women who want to run alone. One of them might have won last time, who knows? I live in Montgomery County, and I'll be happy to donate and vote for her!

Whaley faces the same problem. She will need to amass a fortune and run a near-perfect campaign to beat DeWine against the built-in advantages that he and the GOP enjoy in this state.
