Former Ohio Democratic Party chair is mulling a return to politics
For the past few years, Chris Redfern has been operating his Rocky Point winery and the inn that bears his name in Marblehead.
But he's now talking about delving back into the political world he left behind.
Redfern is the only Ohio Democratic Party Chairman to be at the helm when Democrats swept the statewide elections for governor, U.S. Senate and president in 2008.

Redfern resigned as party chair in 2014, after a scandal-plagued Ed FitzGerald lost to Republican Gov. John Kasich, and Democratic losses streamed down the ticket. He was among those who lost, defeated in his race to keep his seat in the Ohio House.
He had three stints in the House, and served as Minority Leader starting in 2003. He left the House in 2008 because of term limits, just as Democrats took over leadership in that chamber. Republicans assumed control again in 2010, in Kasich's first win.
