The race to replace Rob Portman in the U.S. Senate continues to grow.
Republican Matt Dolan has updated his website and Twitter bio to say he's now a candidate.
The state Senator had been considering a run for months as a part of a statewide listening tour.
By entering the race he joins a crowded field of Republicans including including “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance, former Ohio GOP leader Jane Timken, former state Treasurer Josh Mandel, and Cleveland businessmen Mike Gibbons and Bernie Moreno in next year’s primary. On the Democratic side, Rep. Tim Ryan and progressive Morgan Harper are also vying for the Senate seat.
Dolan, whose family owns the Cleveland baseball team, would likely differentiate himself from the other GOP candidates positioning themselves as Trump surrogates.
