Fairfield Co. endorses Blackwell protege

Fairfield County (SW Central Ohio) has endorsed Blackwell supporter Steve Elsea for County Commissioner. The County also reprimanded sitting commissioner Mike Kiger by labelling him "not recommeded."

Mary Beth Lane of the Columbus Dispatch, D7, provides this brief biography of Elesea:

Elsea is a Canal Winchester resident who owns an energy-management business, is on the county GOP executive committee and is county chairman for Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell's gubernatorial campaign.

Knowing of Elsea's extra-curricular activies the County still approved of his candidacy. The Blackwell grassroots support grows.
