Toledo Blade – A spokesman for Republican Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel on Wednesday said his office doesn’t have resumes for 34 of its employees, a little over a year after the Democratic Party said it asked for the employee resumes.

The Ohio Democratic Party said it asked more than a year ago for the resumes to determine whether Mr. Mandel had lived up to his promise to hire only qualified professionals.

Mr. Mandel, who was elected in 2010, is running for the U.S. Senate against Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown in the Nov. 6 general election.

Seth Unger, press secretary for Mr. Mandel, told The Blade Wednesday that the treasurer’s office doesn’t possess the documents that had been requested.

“We have given the Ohio Democratic Party every resume that they have requested which the Treasurer’s office has in its records. The resumes of individuals who applied, interviewed, and were hired prior to the Treasurer taking office were never brought into office. The Treasurer’s office is unable to produce records that it does not have in its possession,” Mr. Unger said in an email to The Blade.
