Richard Cordray, a Democratic candidate for governor who announced his bid Tuesday, made a campaign stop Thursday in the city.

Cordray, a former state treasurer and attorney general, appeared at the V2 Wine Bar Trattoria, 100 W. Federal St., downtown.

Cordray, the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, discussed issues such as the costs of health care and college, finding a better job and saving for retirement.

“This week, I’m traveling around the state, meeting with Ohioans about the kitchen table issues that affect their lives,” Cordray said.
