U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren rallies student vote for Richard Cordray near Ohio State

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rich Cordray worked to rally support from Ohio State University students Thursday, bringing in Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts to energize a group of younger supporters.

The potential 2020 presidential contender didn’t disappoint, calling Cordray “the nerd we need” and touting his work as the former head of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which Warren helped to create.

“Not many people get to run for office on a record of saying I returned $2 billion directly to people in this state when they got cheated,” Warren said of Cordray during a rally at a coffeehouse and bar near the Ohio State campus.

Warren also said the “shadowy” groups that have been running scores of ads against Cordray and in support of GOP opponent Mike DeWine show how much of a reformer Cordray would be as governor.
