Voter-approved
term limits now result in regular turnover in the makeup of the Ohio
General Assembly. Take a minute to consider the results.
In 2004, voters will send eight freshmen to the Ohio Senate – more
if any incumbents lose. Nearly 25% of the 33-member Senate that will
be serving their first elected terms. In the House, at least 17 of the
99 representatives will be freshmen.
Looking ahead to 2006, eight Senate seats and 13 House seats
will be open.
Labor unions, personal injury attorneys, environmental activists and
other groups that oppose many pro-business legislative initiatives are
already searching for their own candidates to fill these vacancies.
If their candidates are elected to office, the pro-business legislative
environment at the Statehouse could suffer – with ill effects for
your business.
You have the power to stop that from happening.
Business-minded individuals can win those vacant legislative seats.
By identifying the right candidates to run for office and helping them
win, you can ensure that new pro-business legislators can make Ohio
a better place for business expansion and job creation. It's certainly
a challenging opportunity. And the Ohio Chamber and P.a.C.E.
can help you make it happen – with minimal effort.
The Ohio Chamber is always on the lookout for fresh candidates with
a strong commitment to the free enterprise system – especially
those with significant private sector work experience.
So please, take a look around. Do you know someone that fits this description?
Maybe it’s your co-worker. Maybe it’s someone you know who’s
involved in your local chamber of commerce. Maybe it’s you.
If you're thinking about becoming a candidate, contact P.a.C.E.
first! Or, if you know a person who might make a good candidate in your
area, just drop ane-mail with his or her name to us at klake@ohiochamber.com.
We’ll take it from there.
