Ohioans For Concealed Carry has learned that Rob Ludeman has been elected to President of the Toledo City Council in a 6-4-1 tally after four rounds of voting.

Candidate Profile: Rob Ludeman, candidate for Toledo Mayor

Accord to a WTOL-TV story:
Democrat Wilma Brown and Ludeman basically went head to head Tuesday night. After four rounds of voting, Ludeman won.

Reaction from some democrats has been strong. New council member Mark Sobczak and councilman Bob McCloskey, both democrats, voted for Ludeman and helped put him in the president's seat.

Other democrats said they'll be able to work with Ludeman, but there's long been talk of an "A" team and "B" team separation within local democrats. "For the 'B' team democrats to find more comfort with conservative republicans I think it speaks a lot about the so-called leadership of the Lucas County Democratic Party," said councilman and democrat Frank Szollosi.
We congratulate Rob Ludeman on his new found title and hope that he can prevent the City of Toledo from making further knee jerk ordinances aimed to demonize and restrict law abiding gun owners in Toledo.
