RH Jones: A recommended slate of candidates for the November election

From RH Jones, August 31, 2006

To all:

On the afternoon of 08/30/06 I attended a press conference to re-elect OH State Representatives Brian G. Williams and William J. Healy II -- There was another who was running for the first time but I am sorry that her name escapes me. However, OH State Senator Kimberly Zurz attended and I am happy to say that she is also running for re-election. As a retired person, I was extremely impressed with all of their speeches. All four of these individuals have a plan that will put education K-16 back on track in Ohio.They share a conviction that the experiment of Charter Schools has failed. They are of the realization that K-16 public education will be the key to business, jobs and Ohio prosperity, once again. All were articulate, bright, knowledgeable, and enthusiastically energetic. Just the type of folks we need in elected state offices.

In getting Ohio moving, they will be needed to assist the new Governor (Ted Strickland, I hope). If Strickland gets elected and does not have the election of Ohio house and senate members -- who are of the same mindset in solving Ohio's problems -- we all will suffer as we have these last 10-yrs, or so. To elect Ken Blackwell as governor will only increase the decline Ohio has experienced over the last several years.

Across our state, positive change will only come as Strickland, Williams, Healy, Zurz and individuals like them in other districts are elected. They are definitely committed to a plan for bringing Ohio back again by creating jobs in science, energy, transportation, automotive, construction and improving our highway/ bridges and traffic flow. Protecting Ohio's farms, factories, the home and building construction industry. All aspects of job creation for a working Ohio were thoroughly covered in their plan.

At the same time they plan to increase a commitment to the protecting and improving health care for all, the environment, safety, and improving conditions for Ohio's children, the handicapped and those who may be disadvantaged for one reason or other. Folks, it is time for a new beginning in Ohio.
