***** An editorial in the Akron Beacon Journal uses the word "sleaze" to describe Josh Mandel's campaign. You can read the entire editorial here.
Josh Mandel's last campaign in 2010, when Mandel ran against Democrat Kevin Boyce, the Ohio Treasurer, had the public disgusted with Mandel's ads. Joe Hallett of the Columbus Dispatch called one of Mandel's ads "...as the scummiest..." Hallett went on in the Dispatch to say, "...Mandel apparently wants Boyce's job so badly that he is willing to resort to bigotry to get it....."
It appears that Josh Mandel keeps repeating his same political strategies----dirt, lies, smears, and sleaze------ and avoiding the truth about his own cronyism, absences, and political travel.

Progress Ohio has news about college students in Ohio:
Today the College Democrats of Ohio are applauding Senator Sherrod Brown
for his hard work to stop the student interest rate hike that will take
place on July 1 if Republicans don't join Democrats in passing Senator
Brown's bill.
For weeks, Sen. Brown has demonstrated his commitment to Ohio's students by traveling across Ohio, visiting college campuses including The Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati and Wright State University to discuss his bill, which would freeze interest rates for federal Stafford Loans that 382,000 Ohioans rely on to attend college at the current 3.4 percent level.
If Republicans don't join Democrats to pass Sen. Brown's bill, student loan repayments will increase by an average of $1,000 per loan. In Ohio alone, the new rate increase will affect 382,000 students. Sherrod Brown knows that's not acceptable - that's why he's fighting to make college more affordable.....
