YOUNGSTOWN — Among the first stops for a three-day bus tour around the state for the Republican Party’s statewide ticket is Youngstown.
Six of the eight statewide Republicans — the party’s slate features all incumbents — are expected in Youngstown at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Dearing Compressor & Pump Co. at 801 Midlothian Blvd.
The candidates expected in Youngstown as part of the “Ohio Works Bus Tour” are Gov. John Kasich, Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, Attorney General Mike DeWine, Secretary of State Jon Husted, Auditor Dave Yost, and Supreme Court Justice Judi French.
Statewide Democrats have often campaigned in the Mahoning Valley in this election.
Ed FitzGerald, the party’s gubernatorial nominee, will be in Niles later today to kick-off an area phone-bank effort with volunteer members of the Ohio Civil Service Employee Association.
David Pepper, the Democratic nominee for attorney general, is spending most of Monday in Mahoning County, including urging early voters to cast ballots for him and the party’s ticket outside the board of elections on Youngstown’s South Side. Later, he’ll speak at a Mahoning Valley Democratic Club meeting in Campbell.
