2010 Congressional Campaign
See also: United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio, 2010#District 1*Driehaus was challenged by Republican nominee and his predecessor, former U.S. Congressman Steve Chabot, as well as Libertarian nominee James Berns, and Green Party nominee Richard Stevenson. As Chabot was ahead in public opinion polls, the DCCC pulled its financial support for TV ads from the Driehaus campaign, indicating to Chuck Todd that they expected Driehaus to be defeated, which he was, 52% to 45%. Driehaus proceeded to sue the Susan B. Anthony List, saying the group caused his "loss of livelihood" by "defaming" him by saying he supported taxpayer funded abortion. The case was decided in favor of the Susan B. Anthony List (Defendants)(805 F.Supp.2d 412 (2011)).
