COLUMBUS - The Ohio Republican Party is asking House candidate Joe Dills to withdraw from the three-way Clermont County primary after Dills admitted to signing up for an Ashley Madison account in 2013.
“Mr. Dills crossed a line by joining this lewd and inappropriate website," party Chairman Jane Timken said in a statement Friday. "I call for his immediate withdrawal from the race. There is no place in our party for people that exercise such a gross lack of judgment.”
Dills disclosed Friday that he signed up for an account with the online dating and social networking service marketed to people who are married or in relationships to "connect with women for inappropriate relationships."
Dills, who was endorsed by the Clermont County Republican Party and Ohio Republican Party, said in a Facebook post on his campaign's website that it was a mistake to join the website. Dills, of Union Township, said he was single at the time and said he never used the site to actively meet with anyone.
