Long-time social conservative Ken Blackwell is one of six men seeking to become the next chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Republicans will vote during the party's winter meeting in Washington, D.C., later this month.
Blackwell has been endorsed by Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family Action, as well as Tony Perkins and other conservative leaders.
Blackwell is a former mayor of Cincinnati and has served as Ohio’s secretary of state. He currently works as the Family Research Council's senior fellow for Family Empowerment.
Ashley Horne, federal policy analyst at Focus on the Family Action, said: “Ken Blackwell has been a real advocate for family values, and we would love to see him as chairman of the RNC.”
