A Message from Medina County Democratic Party
Democratic Friends,
Tuesday's election results were not what we wanted to see in Medina County. The hard work that so many of you put in was to no avail. We had outstandingly qualified candidates and so many dedicated volunteers that it seems we should have prevailed. We thank all of you for your commitment, for the hours you spent and for your faith in the democratic process.
We are especially sorrowful about the loss experienced by our longtime County Auditor and Party Chair Mike Kovack, a true public servant who has contributed greatly in so many ways to Medina County residents during his 30 years in office.
And, we applaud the efforts of Carol Brenstuhl, Drew Burge, Christina Collins, Mike Conway, Amber Crowe, Matt Diemer, Pete Kirner, Kathy Menditto, Judge Tom Teodosio and Magistrate Erica Voorhees. Each of these candidates should be proud of the work they did.
Although Tim Ryan didn't make it, he put up an incredible fight. It took $28 million from Mitch McConnell to defeat him. Overall, Ohio was a sea of red, but there were some bright spots: the election of Emilia Sykes, the re-election of Marcy Kaptur and the victory of Greg Landsman over Steve Chabot. Plus, the extremist candidates for the Ohio State School Board were unsuccessful.
But, we are clearly a minority in Medina County and in Ohio. It will take an overwhelming effort for the tide to change and we must be willing to come together to bring about change. We need your ideas, your input, your experience to guide us forward in the next two years. Next year, we have opportunities to elect nonpartisan candidates in our cities, townships, villages and to our school boards.
We can take a few days to catch our breath, but then we need to regroup and plan for the future.
Thank you for your efforts... and keep the faith!
Your Medina County Democratic Party officers,
Pam Miller, Vice Chair
Carol Gurney, Vice Chair, Central Committee
Pat Walker, Secretary
Donald Baker, Treasurer
