8 vie to fill GOP Rep. Ney’s place on ballot - Politics - MSNBC.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Eight candidates beat the deadline to vie for scandal-scarred Rep. Bob Ney’s congressional seat in a special election next month, including two men who lost races in the spring primary and the Republican state lawmaker Ney wants to take his place.

If their petitions are approved, the eight will compete Sept. 14 to replace Ney on the November ballot in a race drawing widespread attention as Democrats try to retake control of the U.S. House.
