From the Plain Dealer.

Update: From WKYC (which says he’s 30 but the PD said 29)

District 17 state Rep. Josh Mandel arrived home from his second tour of duty in Iraq about 2 p.m. Wednesday.

His arrival was totally unlike the “family-friends-media” hoopla that took place at Cleveland Hopkins International airport when he returned from his first tour in 2004.

This time, he was greeted only by his fiancee, Ilana Shafran, of University Heights, and no, their first words were not about their upcoming Aug. 28 wedding.

I agree 100% with Mandel’s kudos to his office aides, Michael Lord in particular who has been very on top of the couple of issues I’ve been following (I still owe him a return call from before my herniated disc).

Mazel tov on the safe return and the nuptuals.

    Josh Mandel is a great Jewish-American patroit. He is presidential material for America’s future!!!!

    Presidential Material? Let’s slow down!

    He is jumping on the bandwagon for the reform garbage being pushed by Hagan & Sutherland.

    Many of us in the RPCC are totally against this bullcrap reform movement.

    Interesting, King! Are you saying that his rising star should plateau, or what?
