Log Cabin gives nod to Cleveland area candidates

The members of Log Cabin Republicans in Cleveland have issued their recommendations for local candidates in this year's election.

The candidates recommended by our club are those who have met with club leaders on various occasions and have expressed support or willingness to work with our community on issues of importance. We believe it important to note that not all Republicans running in our area have been recommended.

Here are some candidates we feel deserve a special mention.

James P. Trakas in Ohio House District 15 is an ally to the GLBT community both in his support for inclusion of open gays and lesbians in the county GOP, and also his willingness to work with our community.

He is committed to supporting inclusion of sexual orientation to Ohio's hate crime law and supports efforts to stop discrimination of any kind. He also may be an important ally in the new Ohio House leadership next year.

Sally Conway Kilbane in Ohio House District 16 is a fine legislator who works hard for her district. We look forward to continuing to work with her.

Mike Maleski in Ohio House District 19 is a newcomer to the political scene. but has expressed a sincere interest in learning about the GLBT community and we believe will make an excellent addition to the legislature.

Knowing who your judicial candidates are is extremely important to our community as well. In the Juvenile Court, our community can have no better friend than Judge Robert A. Ferreri.

Ferreri is a man who truly understands the needs of the community and of those he serves. He has served two terms in the Juvenile Court and has an incredible wealth of experience in this court. He truly cares what happens to the people he sees in his court day in and day out. While he has been involved in some controversy in the past, we still feel he is a strong and talented jurist who deserves re-election.

George MacDonald has taken the time to meet with us and the Ohio Human Rights Bar

Association, and he has a sincere interest in learning how he can serve the GLBT community on the bench. He also has a wealth of legal experience, and we support his election to the bench.

We are also impressed with the legal knowledge and talent of Colleen M. O'Toole, and would urge your vote for her to the Court of Appeals.

Following is a list of recommended candidates. The National Log Cabin Republicans have endorsed George Bush for president and Dick Cheney for vice president. Some of our area members strongly support this endorsement, while others do not. We feel it is best to leave this important decision to individuals to do what they feel is best and are not able to offer a local recommendation.

We believe strongly, as many in our community do, that this election is a critical one for our community and we urge you to vote on November 7, regardless of who you vote for.
