BIG SUMMER TO INCLUDE STRICKLAND, REDFERN

On July 19th, the Bed-ford/Walton Hills De-mocratic Party will be hosting our first major fundraising event. This event, with special guests Governor Ted Strickland and Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Red-fern will take place at the Hall of Teamsters’ Local 436. The Hall is located at 6051 Carey Drive in Valley View, and the fundraiser will be from 6:00 - 9:00 PM.
―This is our first major fundraising event, and was actually suggested by Mayor [Dan] Pocek in 2009. We were fi-nally able to make it happen this year. All thanks go to Chairman Redfern for suggesting
that we do it this sum-mer,‖ said Democratic Leader Andrew Mizsak.
―Governor Ted Strick-land has been as en-gaged as any Ohioan in the effort to preserve the rights of Middle Class Ohioans, and his support of public em-ployees is wonderful,‖ continued Leader Mizsak.
Governor Strickland will be joined by Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Red-fern. Chairman Red-fern is the person who was most responsible for our Southeast Cuyahoga Democratic Center coming to life last year.
―Chairman Redfern, for as long as I have known him, has been a great supporter of grassroots politics and local activism. Whether it was when he was House Democ-ratic Leader, and he traveled to all 99 House Districts to re-cruit candidates and learn local issues, or his 88-county strategy which turned Ohio blue in 2006 and 2008, Chairman Redfern un-derstands and appreci-ates the work of local party units like ours. It will be great to have him with us,‖ stated Leader Mizsak.
This splendid event will not only show our ap-preciation for Governor Strickland and Chair-
man Redfern’s leader-ship, but is a great way to honor the 60 years of service the BWHDP has provided to our two communi-ties.
