Primaries

Continued from page 1

The Cleveland Stonewall Democrats also endorsed incumbents Mamie Mitchell in Ward 6 and Martin Sweeney in Ward 18, and challenger Jeffrey Johnson in Ward 8. All three were the top vote-getters in the primary.

Mitchell is committed to voting for the ordinance prohibiting discrimination against transgender people. Sweeney would not go on the record as a supporter of the ordinance.

money to improve existing structures. Smith is seeking one of the two at-large seats on the seven-member council.

The race is non-partisan, though Smith is a Democrat and will face Republican Paul Rose, Sr. on November 3. The seat is open due to the retirement of incumbent Linda Hoffman Joseph. Coleman manages Smith's campaign.

Smith is endorsed by the Ohio Teamsters Drive. He has applied to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a Washington, D.C. group that backs openly gay and lesbian candidates, but has not heard of an endorsement by press time.

Smith works at the Medina license bureau and is finishing his degree in hospitality management from the University of Akron. He did an internship at Disney World.

"My interest in politics is lifelong," said Smith. "My mom is a history and government teacher, so conversations around our house were interesting."

He said he has always had a passion for civic involvement.

"Politics is a great fit for me," Smith said, "It's the way I can help the most people. For me it's all about improving people's lives." Smith began preparing for the race about

a year ago. Most of his campaigning is doorto-door. The race he would like to run would cost $6,000 to 12,000. Currently, he has raised about $700.

"I get good feedback from voters," Smith said. "They say I have fresh ideas." Smith said his being gay is "semi-known," which he clarifies by saying that it is stated on his website and Facebook page. Democratic Party operatives know, as do other elected officials, but the issue does not come up when he is talking to voters at their doors.

"It's out there for people to see, but it's not an issue," Smith said.

Smith said Democratic elected officials are ready to come to his side if anyone makes anything negative of his being gay, but so far, there has been no need.

Smith's campaign website is located at www.jaysmith.me/09/Home.html and at Facebook and Twitter.
