Wilson, a small
business owner, has been in the House since 1997 and has compiled
a 92% cumulative pro-business voting record – higher than all
but two other House Democrats. He received the OCCPaC endorsement
in his last two re-election campaigns and in this year’s March
Democrat primary. On paper, the 20th district leans Democrat, but
this race is primarily on the Chamber Choice list because of the tremendous
financial advantage enjoyed by the Senate Republican Campaign Committee.
With very few places to spend their money, Senate Republicans may
choose to make at run at the 20th even with their relatively unknown
candidate, Michael Wilkes (R-Columbiana). They attempted a similar
play two years ago, spending over $400,000 in a losing effort against
Sen. Tom Roberts (D-Dayton).
