Primary Election Day is May 6, and early voting is already occurring. I wanted to take a moment to point out a very important Issue on the ballot that will help put local building and construction trades members to work.
Today, Public Policy Polling, one of the most proven pollsters in America, released a poll showing gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald and Governor John Kasich tied at 44%, and Senator Nina Turner leading her opponent, Secretary of State Jon Husted 45% to 44%.
Yesterday, Governor Kasich’s team tried to scrub a Romney sign from a campaign photo, and today, they’re back at it again with the release of their first ad – trying to rewrite history and reintroduce the incumbent Governor as leader in job growth with blue-collar roots who has the best interest of working Ohioans at heart.
After a week of threats from Republican Party officials to make mailing absentee ballot applications more difficult in Ohio, Cuyahoga County Executive and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald appeared on MSNBC to discuss his role in making voting easier for Ohioans in 2014 and 2012 – as well as the relevance of new voter suppression laws for the 2016 presidential election.
After weeks of bad press on his very public courtship of anti-union billionaire Sheldon Adelson and Republican voter suppression tactics, Governor Kasich’s campaign released an ad highlighting his working class, Western Pennsylvania roots and his leadership in job “growth.”
