MAY FUND RAISER A SOLID SUCCESS

Citizens, community leaders and elected officials from the city of Akron and beyond gathered downtown at Bricco on Wednesday, May 20th to show their support for Jeff in his bid to run for Akron City Council at Large and also raise funds for the campaign. Mayor Don Plusquellic was kind enough to give the introductions, and recalled Jeff's past service to the city as 10th ward Councilman, Councilman at Large and also as a Deputy Service Director.

"Jeff didn't have to run for council...this guy had retired," said the Mayor, "but Jeff knows that this is a critical time for this city. We need leaders right now, and he's not one to stand on the sidelines."

When his turn to speak came, Jeff thanked everyone for coming out to the event and reminded them that while there was a lot of hard work ahead in his campaign, their first duty was to ensure that they get as many people as possible to turn out for the special election on June 23rd and soundly defeat the misguided recall effort.
