Former ICE Official Loses Ohio GOP Primary, Derek Merrin Secures Nomination
Politico reports that former ICE official Madison Sheahan was defeated in the Republican primary for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, a battleground seat. State Rep. Derek Merrin won the nomination for the second consecutive cycle and will face incumbent Democrat Marcy Kaptur in November. The result is seen as a relief for GOP leaders who feared Sheahan could jeopardize the party’s chances in the district.
