Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has put forth former Ohio State Buckeyes football coach Jim Tressel as his nominee for the position of Ohio's next lieutenant governor. Tressel, who also has experience serving as a university president, was described by DeWine as 'a natural leader' during the announcement made at a recent news conference.
If approved, Tressel will be succeeding Jon Husted, who was selected by DeWine to fill the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by JD Vance's election as vice president. The nomination now awaits approval from both the Ohio Senate and Ohio House.
