Special to the Director's Cut By Tom Beres, Channel 3 Senior Political Reporter CLEVELAND -- Former Channel 3 anchorman Tim White has filed to run for the 17th House District seat. That's the seat now held by Josh Mandel who is running as the Republican candidate for State Treasurer. White left Channel 3 in December, 2008. He has homes in Pepper Pike and Wyoming. He is running as a Democrat. Some people found that surprising. White said, "Think blue dog." If he stays in the race, he will face Democrat Kellie Perk in the May 3 primary. Republican Marlene Anielski and Libertarian David Macko are also running for the seat.
