Middletown resident to challenge Boehner in 2014

From my local paper:

Middletown resident and Army veteran Andrew Hounshell said he will announce his candidacy April 5 to challenge Speaker of the House John Boehner for his congressional seat.

Hounshell stepped into the limelight this past September when he introduced President Barack Obama at a campaign stop in Cincinnati.

The gerrymandering of Ohio Districts makes it really difficult. He will need to hit the rural areas hard by going door to door, from fish fry to chili suppers. Oh...that is a pure gun crowd too.
