Cuyahoga Today

At a gathering of the Cuyahoga County Democrats, Justices Michael Donnelly and Melody Stewart, along with Judge Lisa Forbes, highlighted the crucial stakes of the upcoming elections, emphasizing their significance as a pivotal battle for democracy and the rule of law. The speakers reminisced about the opportunities and support provided by Secretary Marcia Fudd and Senator Sherrod Brown, urging the community to maintain their support. They stressed the importance of the judiciary's role in upholding the law amidst current challenges, including threats to the judiciary and the disregard for legal norms by certain political figures. The rally served as a call to action for voters across party lines to support judges who are committed to justice and protecting constitutional rights, urging continued grassroots support to ensure their election and maintain the integrity of the Ohio Supreme Court.

County Council President Pernel Jones Jr. and Cleveland City Council President Blaine Griffin highlighted Cuyahoga County’s strategic importance in Ohio’s political landscape, noting its pivotal role in the upcoming elections, especially with the uncertainty of the presidential candidate’s presence on the ballot. Emphasizing diversity, the speaker likened the community to a vegetable stew, where unity allows for individual identities to flourish without requiring uniformity.Both Presidents Jones and Griffin underscored the challenges facing the party, drawing on the grassroots enthusiasm reminiscent of the Obama years. They called on everyone to engage deeply in the campaigning process to ensure Democratic wins across all levels of government. The evening also focused on a broader call to uphold Democratic values, advocating for civil rights, labor rights, and equitable economic growth. This reflected a deep commitment to both the community and the broader national welfare, encouraging a vigorous turnout and active participation in the electoral process.

In 2022, Matt Diemer and his team launched their first campaign for the seat. From the start, they were underrated, facing an expected red wave in a district already gerrymandered to lean Republican. However, with the coalition they built with grassroots Democratic clubs, citizens groups, and people all over Ohio's Seventh District, they exceeded expectations. They won the Cuyahoga County portion of this district and pulled off one of the best-performing congressional races for this district in the past decade.Find out more about this race at: https://northroyaltonpost-oh.newsmemory.com/Website: Diemerforcongress.com
