Strickland endorses Neuhardt; EMILY’s List gives her props as well
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland Wednesday, Sept. 17 endorsed fellow Democrat Sharen Neuhardt for the race for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District, saying she’s the “right voice for Ohio’s 7th District.”
The endorsement comes the same week that Neuhardt got the backing of EMILY’S List, a political action committee devoted to helping women running for elected office, announced its endorsement of Neuhardt, a Miami Twp. Democrat.
Since its founding in 1985, EMILY’s List has raised over $240 million to elect 71 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. House, 13 to the U.S. Senate, and eight governors.
We’ll update with comment from state Sen. Steve Austria, the Beavercreek Republican who is running against Neuhardt. But Austria, too, has gotten some endorsements: he’s been backed by U.S. Rep. David Hobson, R-Springfield, who he hopes to replace in the fall, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Ohio Right to Life, among others.

This is the same Ted Strickland who has done what for education in Ohio? This is the Sharen Neuhardt who is nothing more than a spokesperson for her lawfirm. Is that what Ohio wants or needs? I didn’t think so.
