What’s next for Secretary of State Brunner?
There’s political life for Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner after Brunner’s loss to Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.
Brunner gave her backers a hint about those plans in an email on Thursday, May 20, and invited them to come along:
“I don’t intend to stop now. How about you? While we wait for the right time to pick up our fight in another campaign, how about helping me help others?
“In the next days and weeks I intend to introduce you to causes and people who are making a difference in their efforts to change government at all levels to work better for us. Your email address will not be provided to anyone. Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about other organizations and candidates—and you can opt to learn more about them and how to get involved.”
Brunner’s campaign said further details aren’t available yet.
Here’s the full email:
In the last two weeks people have been asking, “What’s next for you?” A person can start a journey with every intention of completing it, yet be waylaid only to find a different, unanticipated path.
My U.S. Senate campaign was a journey through Ohio (in an old silver school bus) that blessed me with the privilege to see and hear firsthand the stories and concerns of many resilient and caring people in Ohio. I am forever changed by them and you.
Our campaign energized and inspired people. Our “new, old-fashioned” campaign, combining grassroots with Netroots, empowered thousands and helped us compete with less money and more genuine people support.
Together, we built an organization that can continue to demand we elect our leaders in a new way and change how our government works for us. We have a lot to do.
I don’t intend to stop now. How about you? While we wait for the right time to pick up our fight in another campaign, how about helping me help others?
In the next days and weeks I intend to introduce you to causes and people who are making a difference in their efforts to change government at all levels to work better for us. Your email address will not be provided to anyone. Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about other organizations and candidates—and you can opt to learn more about them and how to get involved.
You mean a lot to me, and I’m grateful for what so many of you have done. I’m more committed than ever. We have been part of something special, each in our own unique way. I’m ready to keep going. How about you? I’ll follow up soon.
Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Brunner Ohio Secretary of State

Maybe she could use some of that Obama care money and get a facelift. I heard they are always looking for pole dancers which she might be up her alley.

I’m awake - and I think for myself. Every day I listen to Jon Stewert and Stephen Colbert. They tell me what to think for myself. So, see - I do so think for myself. You should listen to Jon and Steve and you can think for yourself, too! It’s easy.

How about crawling back under the same rock you slithered out from and then you can spend the rest of your days with the liberal slime. You have never been and will never be anything more than a sorry liberal democratic hack. You have contributed nothing of value to the citizens of this state. GO ROT

I received Brunner’s e-mail and while I decided a few days before voting NOT to support her based upon a two-party race, I wrote to her and encouraged her to try an Independent candidacy apart from some of the baggage he willfully took on to remain a viable Democrat choice. I certain it would be a different Brunner away from Strickland. But, I could be wrong. I just think Ohio needs a third option given the choices over the past 12 years.

You people who keep crying this broken record of ACORN just need to wake up. You are complete morons. Learn to to think for yourselves and stop listening to this stupid rhetoric.

Hopefully a long retirement followed by years of unemployment.

Jennifer ran a tough campaign, and she lost. Isn’t that the point of democracy? We use elections to choose our representitives. The silly, childish blather posted here is spitful. Before your next post, ask yourself, “would my post discourage a good citizen from running for office?” Most of you will answer yes.

Politicians are like cockroaches they never go away as long there is a source of food. Ohio is a smörgåsbord. Lee Fisher has had more than his share too.

Hmmm, there is a Dem primary coming up for OH-3, maybe carpetbagging is her new gig? I’m sure she could rent a nice home of a certain State Senator who works for the Dayton Chamber… cheap!

Hey, Jennifer. Get lost, you ACORN creep! You still don’t get - it do you? Ohio Does not want you. You’re a dishonest crook! Now please go away and shut up!
