COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Mayor Michael Coleman will be chairman of Gov.-elect Ted Strickland's transition team, which will help put together the administration that takes office in January.

Coleman was Strickland's one-time rival for the Democratic nomination before dropping out late last year. He said his experience in seven years as mayor will help Strickland and Lt. Gov.-elect Lee Fisher ease into their new jobs. Strickland agreed.

"Mayor Coleman's leadership will be invaluable in putting together an administration which will implement our plan to turn around Ohio," Strickland said.

Strickland defeated Republican Ken Blackwell to become Ohio's first Democratic governor since Richard Celeste left office in 1991.
