In the first visit by a statewide candidate to Lawrence County in the post-Labor Day campaign season, Ohio Auditor Keith Faber, standing, made a stop in Ironton for a fundraiser at The Depot restaurant on Thursday.

Faber, a Republican, is running for re-election on November’s general election ballot, facing Democratic nominee and Nelsonville auditor Taylor Sappington. Faber spoke one on one with attendees, followed by private remarks, which were closed to media.
