The Friends of Sherrod Brown campaign released a statement today from Press Secretary Sadie Weiner, in response to Josh Mandel’s special interest friends latest attack ad:

“Josh Mandel’s flailing campaign is only alive today because of $11.5 million in secretly funded third party spending and it’s no surprise that his special interest friends are back in Ohio to distract from the unqualified political cronies he hired in the Treasurer’s office, his absence at more than a year of billion-dollar investment meetings he’s supposed to chair, and the FBI investigation connected to his shady campaign cash.”
