Lo, a heretofore unknown Romney! Meet. . . Ronna Romney McDaniel. She’s Mitt Romney’s niece and therefore naturally considering running for outgoing senator Carl Levin’s Michigan seat.

Regarding Ronna Romney’s run, the 39-year-old told The Detroit News: “It’s something I’m going to consider (after) what I saw around the state with how frustrated people were with what’s happening in D.C. Maybe this is a time where we can bring a new voice and get a Republican senator from our state.”

Ronna Romney, Ronna Romney—where have we heard that name before? Ah yes: Ronna Romney’s mother, Ronna Romney (ex-wife of Mitt Romney’s brother G. Scott), caused something of a minor stir back in October when she posted to Facebook “grotesque images of the mangled body of the late Ambassador Chris Stevens with the words ‘Obama killed him’ surrounded by dripping blood,” according to Talking Points Memo. The post was eventually removed but the stain on the good, not-at-all ridiculous Ronna Romney name was not.

So who is this Ronna Romney 2.0? Back in March of 2012, she granted an interview to a local Patch.com affiliate about her work on the Mitt Romney primary effort in Michigan in which she was amusingly asked, among other questions, whether she’d support Rick Santorum if he ended up being the nominee. Wow! March 2012 was a very long time ago.

She also described her political work for Uncle Mitt’s campaign: “[I am] the political director for Mitt’s campaign in Michigan which meant that I helped run the volunteer phone bank. I helped get that up and running. I got the volunteers in, kept them motivated and made sure they knew they were part of something important.”

What else? Well, here she is telling a secret to a children’s doll. “I’m going to run for Carl Levin’s senate seat. You have to promise you won’t tell anyone.”

And that about sums it up for future senator Ronna Romney McDaniel.
