Former Gov. Ted Strickland will run for the U.S. Senate next year, sources close to him confirmed today.

Attempts to reach Strickland, a Democrat, by The Vindicator today have been unsuccessful.

However, those sources say he told political allies Thursday that he would run in the 2016 Democratic primary for the seat and was spending today talking to high-level donors about his decision.

Strickland, 73, will visit Israel shortly and doesn’t plan to make an official announcement until the middle of February, one source said.
