Former Columbus Mayor Coleman decides he will not run for US Senate

Coleman tweeted he will not run for the U.S. Senate.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Former Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman tweeted this morning that he will not run for the U.S. Senate after hinting that he may last week.

In a tweet Wednesday morning, he said “After serious consideration and discussion with my family, we have decided that I will NOT run for the US SENATE. I appreciate the outpouring of support. I will weigh in on a Senate candidate and advocate for good public policy to benefit all Ohioans.”

Coleman was Columbus' longest-serving mayor at 16 years. He left the office in 2015.

His original statement on Twitter came after Senator Rob Portman announced that he will not seek reelection in 2022.
