Matt Dolan Receives Key Endorsement for U.S. Senate Race

As several candidates are struggling to prove their capability to be elected in the upcoming 2024 election, Ohio Senator Matt Dolan has received key endorsement for the U.S. Senate race.

Born on January 12, 1965, Matt Dolan is a lawyer and has been serving as a member of the Ohio Senate representing the 24th district since 2017.

Earlier, he had also served as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 2005-2010. He announced his candidacy for the 2024 U.S. Senate in Ohio on January 17, 2023.

As per multiple recent polling data, Dolan has gained popularity and support in various communities of the States in recent days.

He also received significant support from East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway, who said in a statement last Wednesday, “In the aftermath of unspeakable tragedy, Ohioans came together from many walks of life to lift one another up and begin a recovery process that continues today.”

“Through it all, one leader among many has stood out for his efforts grounded in responsiveness and results.”

Conaway added, “Matt Dolan didn’t come here for headlines, cameras, or social media clicks. He quietly showed up, rolled up his sleeves and asked how he could help.”

“Each day, Matt has stood with East Palestine, and as we continue to rebuild, he’s focused on our community’s needs and worked with us to develop a recovery plan that gets results. That’s why I’m proud to stand with Matt Dolan.”

Dolan is running for the U.S. Senate against Sharod Brown, a senior United States senator who is running for a second term. Other prominent candidates competing with Dolan are businessman Bernie Moreno and Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who launched his senate bid in July.

The last month’s polls and the current polls indicate strong competition for the U.S. Senate position. Dolan is leading the race by two points against his opponent, Brown. LaRose is ahead of Brown by one point, while Moreno is behind Brown by two points.

The Ohio Senator is quite confident of his lead and believes in his policies. Dolan has said of his primary opponents, “I’m the only candidate that doesn’t need a lift” since he has maximum cash on hand to support his campaign.

He said Moreno and LaRose “are running a campaign solely to win the endorsement of Donald Trump. I’m running a lot of Trump policies, but I’m focused on Ohio.”

Dolan’s family owns the Cleveland Guardians baseball team, and its finances are concentrated on cable television investments.

Forbes ranked his family as the 54th richest in the United States in 2015. He reportedly donated his campaign $7 million in the initial days of his campaigning and $3 million in late September.

Dolan has constantly declared to his voters since he entered the U.S. Senate race, “I’m focused on Ohio. I’m focused on what matters to you.” His clear lead in the race, as per polls, indicates the Senator’s growing momentum and shows he is a clear frontrunner for the U.S. Senate.
