( CINCINNATI, OH ) -- Former Cincinnati mayor Ken Blackwell is forming a super PAC to harness enthusiasm for President Donald Trump into electing new Republican Ohio leaders. The conservative announced the Defend US PAC in a tweet on Tuesday, March 7.
Blackwell says he's seen polling suggesting he could "effectively challenge" any Republican running for US Senate, but that he can "best serve the cause of freedom" by fielding a 2018 farm team supportive of Trump.
Blackwell says his will back local, state, and federal candidates willing to defend US jobs and borders, who oppose abortion and who favor school choice.
