UPDATED: Cordray supported Dann, says new Crites ad

A new ad by Republican attorney general candidate Mike Crites is explicitly saying Richard Cordray supported former attorney general Marc Dann.

The ad, which has aired at least once on Columbus television this week, has video of Cordray endorsing Dann in 2006.

"....Someone who with investigative power will make things right in this state and not allow things to go wrong as they have time and time again in Columbus, our candidate for attorney general, Marc Dann," Cordray said in the ad.

Cordray was running for his current office of state Treasurer at the time. 

Dann resigned under threat of impeachment in May as a result of sexual-harrassment complaints and allegations that Dann abused his powers as attorney general to help his cronies.

UPDATE: Cordray spokesperson Leesa Brown said the ad is "weak" and pointed to the Columbus Dispatch endorsement of Cordray that said neither man have held coordinated events, donated to each other and made only "perfunctory campaign appearances together."
