Someone is already campaigning against a possible Cordray 2018 gubernatorial run
Richard Cordray isn’t running for governor of Ohio — at least not yet — but at least one outside group is spending money shooting down the possibility.
The group, “Protect America’s Consumers” is winding up a month-long ad buy Thursday in Ohio, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, West Virginia and the Washington, D.C. The group also launched a website attacking Cordray and has promoted that site through advertised Tweets.
The buys are small — probably around $50,000 nationwide, including $12,500 in Columbus on cable TV, according to Tim Kay, director of political strategy at NCC Media, which tracks cable ad buys — but they speak to the interest in Cordray’s political future.
The ads battle a candidate who isn’t yet running for anything. Cordray, the former Ohio Attorney General turned director of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has been considered a possible Democratic candidate for Ohio governor in 2018.
