Valley man to challange Kasich for Governor?

[Billy Mumphrey]

From today's Vindicator:

Local challenge? John Kasich may have a challenger from the Mahoning Valley in the 2014 Republican primary for governor or maybe it will be Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel or perhaps it won't be either.
Aaron McCord of Liberty, who describes himself as an "openly gay African-Irish-American Republican," who is "well-connected in the Mahoning Valley and the country," told me he plans to run for governor next year.
McCord contends his "family is very wealthy and powerful." When I asked him to explain, he said they own 120 acres of real estate with about 100 acres unused in LaGrange, Ga., and his family business is to buy and sell scrap metal.
In February, he returned to the Valley, where he was born and raised, after spending nearly a decade in Georgia. .
McCord, who's never run for political office, said he figured running for governor was a good place to start. But when we talked about other offices up for election next year, McCord expressed interest in state treasurer and the U.S. House of Representatives.
