Portman's PAC gives $8K to GOP candidates

The Ohio’s Future political action committee, headed by former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman (R-Cincinnati), gave $8,000 to GOP candidates during the third fundraising quarter.

The PAC’s Federal Election Commission report shows contributions to attorney general candidate Mike Crites, state Reps. Bill Bachelder and Josh Mandel, state House candidates Bob Mecklenborg, Shannon Jones, Virgil Lovitt, Ohio Supreme Court Justice Maureen O’Connor and the Gallia Co. Republican Party.

During the last three months the PAC raised about $5,500. PAC director Andrew Ciafardini said Portman has been careful not to try to raise money for the committee while taking it away from other Republicans.

The PAC has $107,000 in cash on hand.
