RGA Statement on Nan Whaley’s Announcement

April 19, 2021

As you cover Nan Whaley’s decision to run for governor, please consider the following statement from the Republican Governors Association:

“Governor Mike DeWine’s leadership kept Ohioans safe, people working, and kids learning throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and his policies continue to put Ohio first,” said RGA Executive Director Dave Rexrode. “Nan Whaley is a failed candidate who seems destined to repeat the same mistakes she made in 2018. Democrats have increasingly embraced an extreme agenda that is out of step with mainstream Ohio; and the RGA is all in and looking forward to standing with Governor DeWine and helping him lead Ohio for four more years.”
