Washington • The Republican charged with keeping GOP control of the House, Rep. Steve Stivers, said Thursday that Mitt Romney’s Senate bid will help boost Rep. Mia Love’s re-election chances, though Stivers acknowledged that Democrat Ben McAdams is a tough challenger.
“I feel very confident that Mia will win her race,” said Stivers, an Ohio congressman and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. “She’s got a tough competitor. Her Democrat[ic opponent] is no slouch, but she’s got Mitt Romney, who will likely be in the Senate race — I expect him to win that primary — and help her turnout.
