Campaign Diaries: Trying Out Politics
Friend's Bid Puts Damon Boughamer at the Head of a Campaign
Damon Boughamer, left, and other members of Pat Lang's campaign for an Ohio state house seat.
When Democratic voters in Ohio's 92nd legislative district went to the polls on Super Tuesday, they saw the name Pat Lang on their primary ballot. Lang ran unopposed in Ohio's Democratic primary. He plans to challenge Republican incumbent Rep. Jimmy Stewart for his state house seat in November's general election. For NPR's Campaign Diaries series, Damon Boughamer, Lang's campaign manager and college friend, talks about why he became involved in politics.
