She has devoted her professional life to helping children, families, and adults solve difficult problems involving many systems: from schools and courts, to county and state governments. This work, combined with experience as a wife, mother, and grandmother, places her in a unique position to understand the needs of the residents of the 27th district.

Last Week's Meeting

Democratic State Representative Casey Weinstein who is running for re-election in the Ohio House District 37 was our speaker last week.  He emphasized that he has three major platform planks:  the generation of monies to support local government, fair and compliant funding of public school education and recognition and resolution of corruption within the state government.  Representative Weinstein spoke of the importance of his time serving on the Hudson City Council and the appreciation he has for local control and funding.  He addresses topics as diverse as water protection and cleanup to marijuana legalization.  Many members had an opportunity to ask questions.  It was a very good meeting and one worth viewing again on YouTube or HCTV.  The Republican Candidate is Beth Bigham.
