Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland (D) announced that he will not seek a 2014 rematch with incumbent Gov. John Kasich (R), the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
“Strickland, who lost a close re-election bid to Kasich in 2010, had been weighing another run for months, hinting strongly at last summer’s Democratic National Convention that he was interested. His statement did not indicate why he decided not to run again, and his spokesman did not immediately return telephone calls.”
