WCTP to feature Sheriff Jones and U.S. Senate candidate
Near the end of September, the West Chester Tea Party will feature Dr. Michael Pryce, an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate. He is also the author of “Anathema! America’s War on Medicine.”
Pryce - according to a West Chester Tea Party e-mail on Aug. 31 - will speak about “what is wrong with our current health care system, and what it will take to fix it” from the perspective of a practicing physician.
Then Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones will speak on immigration, including “the problems it causes and how it effects you from both a personal and financial perspective.” (from the same West Chester Tea Party e-mail)
A Q&A will follow both presentations.
The West Chester Tea Party meeting starts at 7 p.m. Sept. 23 at Lakota West Freshman School, 5050 Tylersville Road, West Chester Twp. Registration starts at 6:30 p.m.
So, will you attend? If so, what do you hope to hear? What do you want to ask?
Cordray to speak in Oxford on Sept. 9
Next week, Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray will be the featured speaker at the Butler County Progressive Political Action Committee’s quarterly “Candidate’s Night” meeting.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Sept. 9 and will be at the LCNB Bank, 30 Park Place West, in Oxford. It’s free and open to the public.
In a press release, Cordray said, “I pledge to the people of Ohio that I will use my office to stand up for them against the forces that wrecked our economy and caused so much pain for so many.”
The release also stated a number of accomplishments by Cordray (and you can see it attached below), but the one thing that stands out to me is, he was a five-time “Jeopardy” champion.
At the meeting, Cordray will introduce Middletown attorney, J.C. Shew, who is seeking to defeat incumbent Ohio Rep. Tim S. Derickson, R-Oxford, for the 53rd District seat.
Other Democratic candidates speaking, include:
• Bruce Carter (running against incumbent Ohio Rep. Courtney Combs, R-Hamilton, for the 54th District seat, and independent Arnie Engel, of Fairfield);
• Suzi Rubin (running against incumbent Ohio Rep. Bill Coley, R-Middletown for the 55th District seat);
• Butch Hubble (running against Clerk or Court Cindy Carpenter for County Commission); and
• George Stephen (running against incumbent Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds for auditor).
So, will you attend? If so, what do you hope to hear from these candidates?
