Leading Republicans are running from, not for, the U.S. House seat being vacated by the incumbent next year in Ohio’s 15th District.

The seat has been held for the past 15 years by Deborah Pryce, a member of the Republican leadership who barely made it back to Congress last year. She won re-election by just a tad more than 1,000 votes, despite years of easy victories. Pryce announced this summer she wasn’t up for another campaign and would retire at the end of her eighth term.
