DaytonOS: OH 7th Dave Hobson to Retire

DaytonOS is reporting this morning that Dave Hobson will retire rather than seek re-election.

Ohio 7th District Congressman Dave Hobson will not seek re-election to a 10th term in the U.S. Congress.

The much expected retirement of Cong. Hobson has not been formally announced even though State Senator Steve Austria (Hobson’s hand picked successor) is already preparing for a Congressional campaign and at least two Republicans are lining up for Austria’s Ohio State Senate seat.

See it at Wikipedia:

Part of Columbus is gerrymandered into this district.

Hobson has held this seat since 1990.

Mike DeWine held the seat from 1982 to 1990.

A Democrat has held this seat for two years only, since the district was created in 1920: Arthur W. Aleshire (D) held the seat from 1936 to 1938.
  
Congressional Race 2008 Ohio 7th

I was the 2006 Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in the Ohio 7th District and will run again in 2008. I did very well in 2006 against Hobson,a 9 term incumbent, winning Franklin and Perry Counties and getting 40% of the vote across the district. In my web site www.ConnerForUS.com I present detailed plans for more than 30 issues. We can end the occupation of Iraq while creating an improvement in our position in the Middle East and the world, end the budget deficit with a surplus, have universal health care, and reduce the trade deficit and restore jobs. I also present a strong ethics in Congress plan which I hope you will read.
I look forward to running against Steve Austria in 2008. I ask for the support of all Democrats, Independents and progressive Republicans.

Possible Dem Candidate

I have heard of a possible Dem candidate for this seat. From what I have heard this person would be a great fit for the district.
