(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain made a stop Thursday in Wilmington, Ohio, discussing job losses that could result from closing the local DHL shipping center.

McCain didn't answer any questions from reporters over reports that his own campaign manager lobbied for the corporate merger that led to the plant's proposed closure.

The campaign manager, Rick Davis, lobbied the Senate in 2003 to approve the merger of Airborne Express with German-based DHL, according to news reports.

DSL announced in May that it planned to close the plant to cut costs. The company reached an agreement with United Parcel Service to have its packages flown on UPS planes. Those packages would go though a nearby airport in Lexington, Kentucky, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper reported Wednesday.
