TV Superstar ‘Considering’ Run for Governor

Television host and former Cincinnati mayor Jerry Springer said he is “considering” a bid for Ohio governor in 2018, a close friend of Springer announced Wednesday.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that this latest revelation comes after rumors started that Springer would enter the race and Springer himself denied some of those rumors.

The speculation about a potential gubernatorial bid increased after several prominent Democrats in Ohio politics said in May that they had discussed with Springer the possibility of him launching a bid for governor as a Democrat.

When pressed about these meetings, Springer said in a statement at the time he could not confirm or deny any plans about running for office.
