This NE Ohio Congressional Race Could Be A Political Barometer

Less than a week before Ohio’s primary election, a Congressional race in Northeast Ohio is drawing national attention. State Representative Christina Hagan and former NFL player  Anthony Gonzalez are battling for the GOP nomination in the 16 th District (Republican incumbent Jim Renacci is running for the Senate). Both are young and conservative, but they stand on opposite sides of the GOP schism between supporters of President Trump and more establishment Republicans. State House News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler examines the candidates and what’s at stake for Republican voters on May 8.
