COLUMBUS, Ohio – Gov. Mike DeWine Monday named former Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel as his nominee to serve as lieutenant governor.
DeWine announced the appointment during a news conference this morning that was carried on the Ohio Channel. Tressel succeeds Jon Husted, who recently was appointed to fill the U.S. Senate vacancy created when J.D. Vance was elected vice president.
“I’m going to work like crazy to try to learn all I can learn and contribute all I can contribute and I’m excited,” said Tressel.
