Cordray To Announce Candidacy Today

Former consumer watchdog, Richard Cordray, is preparing to join a crowded governor’s race in Ohio. The 58-year-old Democrat will make his long-anticipated announcement in Grove City. He’s viewed as among the Democrats’ strongest contenders to seize a critical swing state from the Republicans next year. Cordray resigned last month as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, one of the last major Obama-era holdouts in the Trump administration.
