J.D. Vance 'seriously considering' run for GOP Senate nomination

Columbus resident and Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance is more than flirting with a run for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate following the exit of Treasurer Josh Mandel from the race. "J.D. is seriously considering a run at this point," said Jai Chabria, a former top adviser to Gov. John Kasich who now is working with Vance, who has never sought or held elective office.
