Cleveland area car dealer Bernie Moreno is the latest Republican to throw his hat in the ring to run for the U.S. Senate seat now occupied by Sen. Rob Portman.

Two other Republicans have announced they’ll also run for the U.S. Senate seat Portman says he’ll vacate after 2022. Former Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane Timken and former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel have announced their intentions to run for the same seat.
