See ELECTION | 10 Brown prevails in U.S. Rep. primary in Ohio Election 2022: Vance wins Ohio’s GOP Senate primary By Jill Colvin and Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — “Hillbilly Elegy” author JD Vance won Ohio’s contentious and hypercompetitive GOP Senate primary on Tuesday, buoyed by Donald Trump’s endorsement in a race that was an early test of the former president’s hold on his party as the midterm season kicks into high gear. A onetime staunch critic of Trump whose 2016 memoir about his Appalachian childhood lifted him to fame, Vance spent much of the campaign behind in the polls. But a latestage endorsement from Trump pushed him to frontrunner status and the two men downplayed Vance’s past scathing criticism of the former president, with Vance saying he was wrong. In accepting the GOP nomination, Vance struck a unifying tone, complimenting his rivals — including silencing boos for his most bitter opponent, former state Treasurer Josh Mandel — and pledging to appeal to the state’s many moderates headed into November after an exceptionally bitter campaign that, at one point, saw two candidates nearly come to blows on a debate stage “Now this campaign, I really think, was a referendum on what kind of a Republican Party we want, and what kind of a country we want,” Vance told the crowd. Tuesday’s contests ushered in a more competitive phase of the midterm primary season, with closely watched races in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia scheduled for later this month. The election will culminate in November, when control of Congress, governor’s mansions and key elections ofﬁces are at stake. Vance will face Democrat Tim Ryan in the general election race to ﬁll the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman. The 10-term Democratic congressman, who easily won his three-way primary Tuesday night, will likely have an uphill climb in a state Trump won twice by an 8-point margin. In a potential warning sign for Ryan, roughly twice as many Republicans participated in the primary than Democrats.

Nina Turner for the second time since last summer, easily prevailing in an Ohio primary billed nationally as a key showdown between the party’s more moderate establishment and its activist progressive wing. Brown, who had campaigned with South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the most senior Black member of Congress, and as a strong ally to President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda, had topped Turner in July’s special election primary — and did so again Tuesday. The president called Brown on Tuesday night to congratulate her on the victory and released a statement on Wednesday calling her win “an important step forward.” Primaries in Ohio and the neighboring, Rust Belt state of Indiana helped kick into high gear a midterm season that will see Democrats attempt to defend their razor-thin congressional majorities this November. A former Democratic Party county chair, Brown has only been in Congress a matter of months but came into the rematch with the power of incumbency. Turner, a leading surrogate for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, was endorsed by the Vermont senator and top progressive groups, which had hoped for a second-try upset. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, May 5, 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing GALLIA, MEIGS COMMUNITY BRIEFS OBITUARY WILBERT JACK ‘WEB’ MCCLAIN RACINE — Wilbert Jack “Web” McClain, 89, of Racine, passed away on April 29, 2022.

TH Rio The high school postseason is just around the corner, but the roads to the district tournament were paved last weekend as the 2022 OHSAA Southeast District softball tournaments were ofﬁcially released for all four divisions throughout the state. A half-dozen Ohio Valley Publishing schools — Gallia Academy, Meigs, River Valley, Southern, South Gallia and Eastern — now know where their opening games will be and who they will be facing in their respective sectional matchups. Half of the six area programs need a single win to get out of sectional play, while the other three squads need at least two victories to advance to their respective district tournaments. Starting in Division II, Meigs was the only local program to secure a home game — but the Lady Marauders also have the longest road to go in trying to make it through sectionals. Meigs will host Washington Court House at noon Saturday, May 7, in a sectional quarterﬁnal matchup. The winner advances to face Sheridan in a sectional semiﬁnal at 5 p.m. Monday. Both Gallia Academy and River Valley open D-2 play on Monday as the Blue Angels travel to Warren and the Lady Raiders head to Circleville for a pair of 5 p.m. sectional semiﬁnal matchups. Both Southern and South Gallia open postseason play in sectional championship matchups as the Lady Tornadoes travel to Waterford and the Lady Rebels head to South Webster for a pair of 5 p.m. start times on Wednesday, May 11.
