  WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi may have set off a political feeding frenzy with Thursday's announcement that he plans to give up his House seat early next year.
  As many as 10 Republicans from Tiberi’s central Ohio district could jump into the fray. Three Democrats have already declared their bids, and that number may grow with Tiberi and his $6 million campaign war chest out of the picture.
  Tiberi announced Thursday that he would resign by Jan. 31 at the latest to lead the Ohio Business Roundtable, which lobbies for the state's big businesses. Once Tiberi leaves, Gov. John Kasich will set the date for an election to fill the vacancy.
  The district runs from Zanesville to Mansfield, and it leans Republican, although not overwhelmingly so. And in this political climate, with President Trump’s low approval ratings and Republicans' failure to repeal Obamacare, it has the potential to become competitive.
  Two people who aren't interested are Kasich, who held the seat before Tiberi, and "Hillbilly Elegy" author J.D. Vance, a Columbus resident who considered a U.S. Senate bid earlier this year.
  Several Republicans in the Ohio Senate are likely to weigh a bid for Congress. Sen. Kevin Bacon, R-Minerva Park; Sen. Troy Balderson, R-Zanesville; Sen. Kris Jordan, R-Ostrander and Sen. Jay Hottinger, R-Newark, all represent residents within Tiberi’s conservative district. Bacon and Jordan are term-limited.
  “I don’t know. I love what I’m doing in the state senate,” Hottinger said. “I can tell you I will be a candidate for public office in ’18. How’s that?”
  In the Ohio House, Rep. Rick Carfagna, R-Genoa Township; Rep. Mike Duffey, R-Worthington; Rep. Wes Goodman, R-Cardington and Rep. Jim Hughes, R-Columbus, are all possible contenders. Rep. Anne Gonzales, R-Westerville, announced last week that she would run for Bacon’s state senate.
  Republican up-and-comer Clarence Mingo, who recently dropped a bid for state treasurer, could also throw his hat in the ring.
  With so many Republicans potentially interested in the potentially career-changing seat, it might take weeks to sort out who the true front-runners are.
  Former state GOP chairman Matt Borges called the race “wide open” at this point. "Republicans will find a strong candidate to run (and) … to go to Washington to be an effective voice for the citizens of central Ohio."
  So far, the Democratic field includes Ed Albertson, of Granville; John Peters, of Newark and Doug Wilson, of Mansfield. Tiberi defeated Albertson in 2016 by nearly 37 percentage points.
  Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper said it was too early to tell who else might run now that it's an open seat.
  “We have strong candidates emerging in a number of our districts. I think that will be the case now in the 12th (District) as well,” Pepper said. Meredith Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats’ campaign arm, said they would take a close look at the race.
  “Our mission is to get 218, period,” Kelly said. "We will take a close look at all factors in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District, including candidate strength and timing of a potential special election, and if we determine this district gets us closer to that goal, we will be in the fight.”
  Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Columbus, who is chairman of the House GOP campaign committee, said he was confident it would remain in GOP hands. The last time a Democrat held the seat was 1983.
  “Ohio’s 12th District was carried by Republicans from the top of the ticket down by double-digit margins in 2016," he said, "and I am confident its long record of electing conservative leaders will continue in 2018.”
