Kasich, who’s running for the GOP presidential nomination, also set March 15 as the date of the primary election to replace Boehner. The Ohio Republican has held the deep-red seat for nearly a quarter century.

The winner of the June special election would need to run for reelection that same November but certainly would have a leg up on the competition.

Educator J.D. Winteregg told The Hill earlier this year he was seeking a primary rematch against Boehner. Now, he’s running to replace him.

Others Republicans vying for the seat include state Rep. Tim Derickson, state Sen. Bill Beagle and Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds, according to the AP.
