preview of things to come?
The congressional seat held by retired House Speaker John Boehner has likely been taken by an outsider candidate backed by some of the outsider groups that clashed with Boehner on many spending issues while he was Speaker.
One of the major small-government groups, the Club for Growth, backed Warren Davidson, a businessman from Troy in Ohio’s Miami County, who won the GOP primary for Boehner’s seat in Ohio’s 8th congressional district, reports The Enquirer.
Davidson will likely win the seat in the strongly pro-GOP district, when a special election is held June 7. Boehner quit the speakership last October.
Politico reported this week that Boehner’s name has scarcely been mentioned during the campaign to fill his vacant seat–one that featured 15 GOP candidates–a sign of the depth of anti-Washington sentiment during this election year. The former House Speaker represented his congressional district for nearly 25 years.
Mack Mariani, political science associate professor at Xavier University in Ohio, tweeted about the general voter feeling toward politicians:
Voters are so angry with politicians that we are one short step away from putting officeholders on a registry.

“You can divide the Republican electorate into two camps,” said former GOP Rep. Steve LaTourette, a Boehner supporter, who now chairs super PAC Defending Main Street. “Half are angry at him, and half are angry that he left.”
