On Tuesday, Southern Ohio faces a crucial election, as residents of the 2nd Congressional District choose between two capable candidates to replace former Rep. Rob Portman in the U.S. House.

Much of this diverse district - which stretches across seven counties from the eastern neighborhoods of Cincinnati and eastern suburbs of Hamilton County through rural Adams County to Portsmouth in Scioto County - continues to struggle economically. Its various communities have specific needs in infrastructure, transportation, jobs, education and social services.

The candidate who is more in tune with the views of the district's residents, better understands their needs and is in a better position to help meet them should be the one who goes to Washington.

For those reasons, we endorse Republican Jean Schmidt in Tuesday's special election over Democrat Paul Hackett.
