COLUMBUS - U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine, criticized as too moderate by some in the right wing of his own party, faces another impediment to the Republican nomination in May.
Conservative David R. Smith of Mason, a senior financial analyst with Procter & Gamble, said he will start his campaign tonight in Lebanon. He ran unsuccessfully for the party's nomination in the special election this year that ultimately sent Republican Jean Schmidt to represent suburban Cincinnati in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"
has failed to uphold the principles of less government and controlled spending, and he has failed in being the strong champion that we need to drive for real change," he said. "It takes bold actions to make a difference, not idle hope, and we cannot be satisfied with his efforts. He must be replaced."
Mr. DeWine of Cedarville is seeking a third six-year term in Washington. U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown of Lorain and Iraq War veteran Paul Hackett, who also unsuccessfully challenged Ms. Schmidt, are vying for the Democratic nomination.
