OEA Endorses Bill!

As a single parent who raised four kids, Bill knows first-hand the importance of public education. Bill likes to say that, when he was a kid, to call the O'Neill family "poor" would have been generous. They didn't have a lot of money, but they did have world-class public schools that gave him the foundation on which he built his career.

That's why Bill is so honored to have garnered the endorsement of the Ohio Education Association.

The purpose of the Ohio Education Association is to “promote the cause of public education and improve the quality of teaching and learning.”

Bill is proud to stand with the OEA in his campaign to bring change to Washington.

Reception to Feature Sec. of Agriculture Bob Boggs

We are always so thankful for the help and support we receive from Ohio’s dedicated public officials. Here at O’Neill for Congress, we’re honored to have the Ohio Secretary of Agriculture, Bob Boggs, in town tomorrow as our special guest at a fundraiser to benefit the campaign.

Over the last 34 years, Bob Boggs has served the people of Ohio as a representative, senator and a county commissioner. During his career in public service, he used his agricultural background to make decisions on dozens of rural issues including linked deposits, ethanol tax credits, soil and water conservation funding, OSU cooperative extension, and rural development.

The reception will be held Saturday, August 23rd, from 4-6pm at the home of our gracious hosts Gwen and Andy Logan.

To RSVP, call Ben at (440) 554-4844. With a large host committee and many RSVP’s already, this is shaping up to be our best and biggest event so far.

O’Neill Campaign Magic Number: 65,000

We haven’t met-my name’s Mike Gwin and I’m the Volunteer Coordinator for the O’Neill campaign. I’ve got a challenge for everyone today who wants to see change come to Northeast Ohio. If between now and Election Day we can reach 65,000 voters, through knocking on doors and making phone calls, we’re going to beat Steve LaTourette. Reaching 65,000 is a daunting task and it’s going to take some dedicated work from our volunteers, but I know that together we can make it happen.

So today I’m asking you to sign this pledge that says you will help out the campaign at least once a week. Whether it’s going door to door with the O’Neill staff, making phone calls from our office in Wickliffe, or even making calls from the comfort of your own home, we hope that everyone will be able to fit one day into their already busy schedules. So please, sign this pledge and help us elect Bill O’Neill to Congress, so he can start fighting for the change that we deserve.
