Two prominent Stark County Republicans expressed immediate support for Jane Timken s candidacy should she announce a run for U.S. Senate.
Stark County Commissioner Janet Weir Creighton and Sarah Brown of Alliance, a member of the Ohio Republican Central Committee, said they would endorse Timken if she seeks the Senate seat, which they hope she will. All I have to say is run Jane, run Jane, said Creighton.
Timken, a Jackson Township resident, announced Friday she was stepping down as Ohio GOP chair and considering running for U.S. Senate in the wake of Sen. Rob Portman s decision not to run again in 2022. She would be first woman to be a U.S. senator representing Ohio should she run and win.
