Central Committee Seats and Independent Voters

The Blade has as linked above an article about the State Central Committee Seats for the Democratic and Republican Party that will take place on May 2nd. It's important to note that these elections are to select who will win that seat.

Back on April 19th I posted about these candidates.

This for me is one of the hardest parts of being a more Independent voter. During a primary you have to decide first off which party you want to declare for. Sometimes there are candidates that are Republicans you'd like to see win, especially in the case of the State Central Committee seats and there are Democrats that you would like to see win. Yet, you can only pick one party. I'm not sure if there is another way to do this, but it's the way it is done here and probably the way it will remain.

If you are going to request a Republican ballot and are in District 11, I hope you do consider David Schulz His commitment to ethics and his desire to make the Lucas County Republican party more effective has been demonstrated and I believe he deserves to be re-elected to this seat. Dave has the endorsement of the Ohio Republican Party.

As for the "showdown between Frank, Jack, and Carty", on the Democratic side of District 11; Jack Ford has held this seat even prior to being Mayor of Toledo. If you do feel it's time for a change, I would suggest Frank Szollosi. I don't feel as Mayor that Carty has the time to participate in the process nor do I believe this race should be some type of a popularity contest. It should be about which one of the candidates will put their energy into progress and Frank has participated and supported the Democratic Party of Ohio.
