WestVirginiaRebel Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Breitbart: The congressional seat held by retired House Speaker John Boehner has likely been taken by an outsider candidate backed by some of the outsider groups that clashed with Boehner on many spending issues while he was Speaker. One of the major small-government groups, the Club for Growth, backed Warren Davidson, a businessman from Troy in Ohio’s Miami County, who won the GOP primary for Boehner’s seat in Ohio’s 8th congressional district, reports The Enquirer. Davidson will likely win the seat in the strongly pro-GOP district, when a special election is held June 7. Boehner quit the speakership last October. Politico reported this week that Boehner’s name has scarcely been mentioned during the campaign to fill his vacant seat–one that featured 15 GOP candidates–a sign of the depth of anti-Washington sentiment during this election year. The former House Speaker represented his congressional district for nearly 25 years. ________ Meet the new future boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
