Strickland, Glenn won’t be with Obama in Zanesville
Ohio Democrats’ two favorite sons of Appalachia - Gov. Ted Strickland and former U.S. Sen. John Glenn - won’t be with Barack Obama when Obama brings his presidential campaign to that region of the state on Tuesday, July 1.
Obama is scheduled to be at the Eastside Community Ministry in Zanesville in Muskingum County.
Strickland, from Duck Run in Scioto County, is in Florida raising money for his own governor’s campaign and the Ohio Democratic Party from Monday, June 30, through Wednesday, July 2, returning to the state on Thursday, July 3, said Alex Goepfert, spokesman for the Ohio Democratic Party.
The Obama campaign hopes to have a separate event later with Glenn, who grew up in New Concord, just down the road from Zanesville, Obama campaign spokesman Isaac Baker said.
Glenn, like Strickland, endorsed Hilllary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary.
Keith Dailey, Strickland’s spokesman, said Strickland will be running the state from Florida during the fundraising trip.
“The governor is always the governor….just like the president is always the president,” said Dailey.
