The Endorsements Keep Rolling in!

One advantage of being involved in public service for a number of years is that you have the opportunity to work with and support a number of fine people, and as a result, they are happy to recognize the fact that results are what count most. With that in mind, it's always nice to have the support of great individuals and organizations, and here are just a few we'd like to recognize:

AKRON TURNS OUT TO SEE JEFF

Our August 20th fund raiser and Meet the Candidate event was a solid success -- even a torrential downpour of rain couldn't keep people away from a fun after-work get-together at Akron's historic Highland Theater. A number of Akron citizens, community leaders, candidates and current office holders, like State Representative Tom Sawyer (left) joined the campaign committee to show their support for Jeff's candidacy.

Mayor Don Plusquellic came by to introduce all of the dignitaries on hand, adding his own comments in support of Jeff and other At-Large candidates Terry Albanese and Jim Shealey. Jeff reminded the crowd that the campaign was in the "home stretch" and that there was still a lot of work to do over the next few weeks.

MAYOR SUPPORTS FUSCO, SHEALEY AND ALBANESE FOR AKRON CITY COUNCIL AT LARGE

We are happy to note that in his election-night remarks, Mayor Plusquellic asked Akron voters to support Jeff Fusco as one of the At-Large candidates for City Council, in addition to Jim Shealey and Terry Albanese.

As everyone celebrated the resounding defeat of the recall effort, Mayor Plusquellic reminded listeners that there are still recall supporters on city council, and also among those candidates running for city council position in the fall. He encouraged Akron citizens to continue to reject the tactics and misinformation that were used during the recall effort, and which he expects will be used again during the council races.
