OH-01: Air Force pilot, daughter of immigrants launches campaign against Steve Chabot
Nikki Foster flew more than 200 missions over Iraq and Afghanistan refueling planes for the Air Force.
She also bears scars from her time as an All-American rugby player at the Air Force Academy.
The 37-year-old Warren County resident now feels ready for another scrum, this time in politics.
Foster launched her campaign on Monday to take on Republican Congressman Steve Chabot in Ohio's 1st Congressional District.
So far, she's one of two Democrats who hope to face the veteran congressman, the other being Clifton's Kate Schroder.
