From the Mark Dansack for Ohio House District 46 campaign:
Mark Dansack announces endorsements and appearances
Monclova Township Democrat Mark Dansack continues to pile up impressive endorsements from labor groups and individuals. Mr. Dansack announced the endorsements he picked up over the last week which include the following:
Toledo Area UAW-CAP Council
The Ohio State Legislative Board of the United Transportation Union
Toledo Area AFL-CIO Central Labor Council
Teamsters Ohio DRIVE
Teamsters Local 20 and Joint Council No. 44
"It is extremely gratifying to earn and receive the support of such a diverse group of organized labor, as these folks understand that the current representative and Governor Taft are more interested with assisting those folks at the top of the income brackets in Ohio while ignoring the plight of ordinary, hard working Ohioans", Dansack stated. "I am proud and humbled to accept the support of these major labor institutions across our state, and pledge to work in the areas of education and job creation, retention and retraining for displaced workers to attempt to lift the status of Ohio's workers who have been left behind by the Taft administration".
Dansack also announced the support of Ohio Democratic Party Chairman, Chris Redfern, and House Minority leader Joyce Beatty. Beatty calls Dansack a "prime example of just how energized Democrats are in 2006". When Dansack saw that no one was running against Taft supporter, incumbent Mark Wagoner, he immediately "jumped at the chance to get on the ballot". Beatty stated, "In cities and small towns throughout Ohio, there's a fight going on for change, and Mark Dansack is part of that fight". Beatty added, "Mark understands that Ohio is headed in the wrong direction after a decade of failed policies from the likes of Bob Taft and Ken Blackwell. We need more people like Mark Dansack fighting for change in Columbus".
Redfern added, "Mark Dansack will be a strong voice in Columbus for the families of Lucas County. As a state representative from Northwest Ohio and Democratic Party chairman, I am proud to support Mark for the Ohio House".
Dansack will be at a candidate forum on Wednesday, October 11 on senior issues at the Sunset House on Indian Road in Toledo and will be in Sylvania on October 15 for the Sylvania Fall Festival from 11am though 3pm.

Lisa,
I cannot vote in this contest, but I checked Mark's site out anyway.
Imagine my shock and surprize that he, among other politicians, cite you and Glass City Jungle as a reference for themselves ;-)
How do you handle all of the power?
It must be an awesome burden to bear ...
:-)
Seriously, congrats on your well deserved recognition!
lmao - In Mark's case it's because I helped him with some advice on how to start blogging and how to create the side links. I don't think he's had the time with as busy as the campaign has been to add any other links.
Mark is a really great guy - that is one of the side benefits of getting to talk to our local candidiates I've gotten to meet some pretty awesome people.
As for teasing me about the "power", yeah I know you couldn't resist that one. I was talking with Dave and Bob after the candidate's forum was over about this blog and while I am of course very happy that I've been able to try to stick to my goals for Glass City Jungle, I never expected it to end up being what it has become.
:-)
This is Angela, not anonymous (I just wasn't signed in). I was very disappointed to find a slam-piece by the ORP in my mailbox today, targeted at one of my favorite candidates, Mark Dansack. Did you all get that, as well?
I didn't Angela - can you forward it to me?
What a shame that Rep. Wagoner and the Ohio GOP (sleaze machine) found it necessary to go negative against an underfunded citizen candidate like Mark Dansack. Perhaps their internal poll numbers showed that even in Republican leaning Western Lucas County that the voters are fed up with Taft, Noe and all of the corruption. Perhaps they are going negative out of fear of some October surprise concerning Mr. Wagoner.
Its as I felt all along that beyond Wagoner's genial personality, he is simply part of the machine that has run Ohio over the past 16 years. Look at his list of contributions. He's accepted money from Big Energy, Big Drug Companies, Insurance companies, etc. I wonder what he has promised to his contributors?
Just shows why there is a need for a change in the General Assembly!
The piece suggests that I want to raise taxes (of course, in true Karl Rove form, my comments are taken out of context in a lengthy discussion about school funding).
This coming from the Republican Party in Ohio is laughable, as they have been in power for the last 16 years and their failed policies have left us with the third highest tax burden in the country.
We'll keep working, as obviously the GOP's decision to go negative means we are gaining traction as a voice for positive change in District 46.
Regards,
Mark
