Ohio’s conservative State Treasurer Josh Mandel recently announced that he is running for the US Senate in a campaign that, if successful in the Republican Primary, would pit him against Far-Left Democrat Sherrod Brown.



Conservative Josh Mandel booked two early endorsements from conservative powerhouses The Club for Growth PAC and The Senate Conservatives Fund, and now he’s picked-up a third, our friends at the Citizens United Political Victory Fund.



Mandel was one of the few politicians to get the Ohio State Muslim terrorist attack right. After the attack he tweeted: "Looks like Radical Islamic terror came to my alma mater today. So sad what happened at OSU. We must remain vigilant against Radical Islam." About two hours later, he tweeted the last line again.



Mandel’s tweet came after the student responsible for the attack was identified as a Muslim, a Somali refugee who stayed for a short time in Pakistan, characteristics shared by several other Muslim terrorists.



While establishment Republican Governor of Ohio John Kasich foolishly claimed that "we may never find out" the motivations of the attacker Josh Mandel got it right.



Mandel has gotten another thing right, one that should endear him to Ohio’s taxpayers and budget hawks everywhere: the OHIOCHECKBOOK APP.



This new mobile app gives users the ability to track 151 million individual Ohio state expenditures and 562,000 Ohio Public Employee Salaries.



When Josh Mandel was elected Treasurer of Ohio, his state ranked 46th in the nation on transparency. Today, Ohio ranks #1 and now the bar is set even higher.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A top conservative group with ties to the Trump campaign has endorsed Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel in his 2018 bid to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate.



Citizens United Political Victory Fund, a campaign arm of the Washington D.C.-based political nonprofit, announced its endorsement on Tuesday morning. In a statement, Citizens United President David Bossie called Mandel a "conservative leader" and "principled outsider" who will fight for President Trump's agenda if he defeats Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in 2018.



"All Sherrod Brown is doing in the Senate is running a permanent obstruction campaign against President Trump" under the direction of Democratic legislative leaders, Bossie said. "Ohioans want more out of their elected leadership than just saying no."



Bossie took a temporary leave of absence from Citizens United in September to become an assistant director for Trump's national campaign. In January, he and other former top Trump campaign aides founded a nonprofit called America First Priorities to help promote Trump's agenda.

Male: Dear, seven letter word for “not a professional politician.”  Starts with S.



Female: Szeliga.



M: Huh?



F: You know: Kathy Szeliga.  The conservative Republican running for U.S. Senate.  Outsider.  Reformer.  Wants to take back Washington.



M:  Tell me more.



F:  Kathy Szeliga, well, she’s one of us.  Small business owner.   A mom, even a grand mom now.  Lives in the real world, not the political world.



M:  Oh, we could use some of that in Washington.



F:  No kidding.  Szeliga wants to focus on jobs.  Plus, she’s not afraid to say we need to secure the border and confront radical Islamic terrorism.



Trust me, Kathy Szeliga will take on the career politicians in Washington.

Baa.  Baaaa.


 
The professional politicians in Washington think you’re sheep! [Baa, baaa continues in background throughout].


 
You heard me.  Sheep!


 
Those Washington insiders back Todd Young for Senate and you’re supposed to obey.


 
But Young’s no conservative.  Conservative Review gives him a big fat F!


 
Still, the same folks who refused to stop Obama’s amnesty want Young workin’ for them.

 

That’s a bunch of sheep . . . dip.


 
See, Marlin Stutzman is the true conservative choice for Senate.

 
 
Stutzman wants to fix the way Congress spends your taxes even if it means challenging his own party leaders.


 
That’s right.  Stutzman fights for Hoosier values by taking on the Washington special interests.  Stutzman works for you.  Not them.


 
Conservative Republican Marlin Stutzman for the Senate . . . to change the Senate.

One of our core functions at Citizens United is advocating against increases to the size and scope of the federal government while fighting for our core constitutional principles. We believe — as do our 500,000 members nationwide — that for decades our government has grown so bloated that it’s now flat-out malfunctioning. Instead of doing the few constitutionally mandated things well, our government has taken control over countless matters outside its purview and is handling most of them with unmatched incompetence. Our Founding Fathers warned us about this.
