Butler County sheriff might take on Boehner

View the original

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones, who has developed an enthusiastic conservative following for his crusade against local companies hiring illegal immigrants, reportedly is forming an exploratory committee as a first step to running against Boehner of West Chester.

"I can tell you he's serious about it," said Butler County Chief Deputy Anthony Dwyer. "In the not-too-distant future, he'll probably make a decision."

Although Boehner would be a heavy favorite to win a primary, a challenge by Jones would force Boehner to pour money into winning re-election instead of devoting his efforts to helping Republican candidates across the country.

"John will win, but it will be nasty," said Barry Bennett, chief of staff to Rep.
