Mike DeWine is NOT Your Only Option for Ohio AG!
Hardin County attorney Steve Christopher today, Feb. 8, said he is running for the Republican nomination for attorney general against former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine of Cedarville.
“I feel like the moderates and conservatives need to have a candidate for attorney general who’s not a professional politician and a liberal, which DeWine and Cordray both are,” Christopher, 51, who is part of the Tea Party movement, said by phone.
The incumbent attorney general is Democrat Richard Cordray.
Christopher said he is a township trustee in Hardin County where he lives on a farm near Forest. He has law offices in Kenton and Findlay in Hancock County, where he filed his designation of campaign treasurer form.
“The overriding theme (of the campaign) is that we need a conservative on the ballot, someone who understands the constitution,” said Christopher.

Has done volunteer legal work for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ is a Christian legal foundation that often opposes the ACLU. You may be familiar with Jay Sekulow, who heads the ACLJ)
We hope to learn even more soon. An invitation for Mr. Christopher has been sent with the hopes of meeting him face to face at a Summit912.org meeting in the not too distant future. TEA Party members throughout the State have been insisting on changing the Republican Party of this State from within. Could Mr. Christopher may be the beginning of that change away from the dysfunctional process that has claimed Mr. DeWine as the de facto choice for this fall? You will get a chance to decide for your self in the weeks to come.
