CBSN
Ohio Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced a bid for the U.S. Senate Monday, joining the GOP primary field to try to unseat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown next year.
LaRose, 44, is in his second term as Ohio's elections chief, one of the state's highest profile jobs. He has managed to walk the fine line between GOP factions divided by former President Donald Trump's false claims over election integrity, winning 59% of the statewide vote in his 2022 reelection bid.
"Like a lot of Ohioans, I'm concerned about the direction of our country," LaRose said in announcing his bid. "As the father of three young girls, I'm not willing to sit quietly while the woke left tries to cancel the American Dream. We have a duty to defend the values that made America the hope of the world."
