Ohio Secretary of State to visit Oxford
Press release from Butler County Progressive PAC:
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a graduate of Miami University, returns to Oxford for a major speaking event sponsored by the Miami University College Democrats and the Oxford-based Butler County Progressive Political Action Committee.
Brunner speaks at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 26 at the LCNB Bank Building, 30 Park Place West, in uptown Oxford.
Brunner is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican George Voinovich. Ohio Lt. Governor Lee Fisher, also a candidate for the U.S. Senate, spoke to the Butler County Progressives and College Democrats in May.
Brunner graduated cum laude from Miami University as a sociology-gerontology major. She earned her J.D. with honors from Capital University in Columbus. She served for five years as a Judge of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas,
Brunner was elected Secretary of State of Ohio in 2006. In 2008 she earned a Profiles in Courage Award for her reform of Ohio voting systems.
The Brunner address is co-sponsored by the Butler County Democratic Party, the Change Butler PAC, and the Hamilton-Fairfield Democratic Alliance.
“I look forward to returning to Butler County, the home of my alma mater, Miami University,” Brunner said. “Miami provided me with a first-class college education with experiences from working on an interdisciplinary study funded by the National Science Foundation to being a student caseworker for Mt. Auburn Family Services in Cincinnati with clients of my own.”
“I was the first in my family to complete my college degree, and that degree opened doors for me that were not open to my parents,” Brunner continued. “The tradition of excellence at Miami and Ohio’s other fine state and private higher education institutions propels students to excel in the global classroom and economy as they compete for 21st century jobs.”

Was the reform ignoring voter fraud?

My gosh Jennifer, could you sugarcoat it anymore? MU & Oxford are not the perfect little university & town. You just want their votes.
