Republicans quietly fear ex-ICE official could cost them a 'white whale' in Ohio: report

Republicans quietly fear that a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement official running for office in Ohio could cost them a coveted congressional seat, according to a new report.

The Atlantic reported on Monday that Madison Sheahan, who is running against Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) in Ohio's 9th Congressional District, has drawn the ire of Republican strategists and some voters. Some described her as a "dilettante and a carpetbagger," even though she grew up on a local farm, according to the report.
