OH: More Money Stuff (August)

[Tartarus Sauce]

So Nan Whaley is apparently on the way out per Jeremy Pelzer: https://twitter.com/jpelzer/status/951137463191375873

As a slight addition onto that, do we have anyone challenging Turner or not?

Probably wants to run for Mike Turner's seat. He should be announcing his retirement any day now.

Know something we don't, or surmising based on the fact he's term-limited out of his Chairmanship and Ohio candidate recruitment is going well?

Both, and he's also a member of the Tuesday Group. That caucus is going to take a beating in the midterms and already has one of its co-chairs retiring. Plus, Turner has a rather anemic fundraising haul last time I checked. All signs are pointing to him calling it quits. Filling deadline is on the 7th of next month for Ohio, so if he's heading for the exits, we should know within the next few weeks.

Likelihood of running in OH-10 against Turner?

High, according to some folks on Atlas who claim to know Turner's retiring.

Low, according to my Montgomery contact who's been a surrogate for Nan and points out a challenger to Turner just announced today.

Isn’t that just some random whacktivist though?  That said, I doubt she runs if Turner’s seeking re-election (I don’t think he will, but I have no inside info, not my side of the isle).

Based on his paltry fundraising haul, he’s not acting like somebody that’s seeking re-election. If he is seeking re-election, he’s asleep at the wheel and I wouldn’t be surprised if Whaley jumps in before the filing deadline even without an official announcement from the Turner camp.
