For those looking for a formal endorsement from the Dayton Tea Party, think again.  Interviewed for an article in the Dayton Daily News, Rob Scott commented that the Dayton Tea Party does not formally bestow endorsements on candidates running for office.  However, he did press the need for "fresh faces."  

The article, http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/politics/dewine-doesnt-get-gop-endorsement-but-neither-does-the-other-guy-441356.html, points out that the Ohio Republican Party neither endorses Mike DeWine nor Dave Yost.
