Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose finally made his intentions clear this week when he announced he's running for U.S. Senate. If he beats his current two Republican opponents, he'll face a tough and expensive general election against Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
LaRose has been backing a proposal to amend the state constitution and tweeted out a campaign video featuring a vote "yes" on Issue 1 sign. But if Issue 1 is defeated in an August special election, will it hurt LaRose's campaign?
