State treasurer, supreme court candidate to visit Oxford
Press release from the Butler County Progressive PAC:
Ohio State Treasurer Kevin Boyce and Ohio Appeals Court Judge Mary Jane Trapp will be the Guests of Honor at the Inaugural Re-Celebration Gala of the Butler County Progressive Political Action Committee, PAC President Don Daiker has announced.
The Gala, which commemorates the anniversary of Barack Obama’s becoming America’s 44th president, takes place from 7:30 to 11 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20. It will be held at Oxford’s lovely and historic White Garden Inn, 6194 Brown Road.
Boyce was named Ohio State Treasurer in December 2008 by Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, succeeding Richard Cordray, who became Ohio Attorney General. Before his appointment as treasurer, Boyce served on the Columbus City Council as President Pro Tem and Chair of its Finance and Zoning Committees.
Boyce has been Chief of Staff for the minority caucus of the Ohio House of Representatives and was the leader of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Toledo and a Masters degree in public administration from Central Michigan University.
Mary Jane Trapp is the Presiding and Administrative Judge of the Ohio Court of Appeals, Eleventh Appellate District, in Northeast Ohio. She is a candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court in the November 2010 election.
Judge Trapp is a past President of the Ohio State Bar Association. She is currently an Ohio State Bar Association delegate to the American Bar Association House of Delegates. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College, cum laude, and she earned her law degree from Case Western University.
Special Guests at the Gala include Montgomery County Treasurer Carolyn Rice and Butler County Juvenile Court Judge Kathleen Dobrozsi Romans. Local office holders and candidates for county and state legislative elections in 2010 will also be in attendance.
“We look forward to celebrating a year of President Obama’s steady and decisive leadership,” Progressive PAC Vice-President Bill Gracie said. “We believe that the passage of health care reform will be the most important piece of social legislation since the Social Security Act of the 1930s. That in itself will be a great reason to celebrate!”
Tickets for the Gala are $40 per person, $75 per couple. Gala sponsorships are also available: $500 = Platinum; $250 = Gold; and $100 = Silver. Sponsorships include two tickets, acknowledgment in the printed program, and recognition at the Gala.
For reservations, tickets, or sponsorships call Marilyn Elzey at 765-732-4819 or email her at melzey1013@netscape.net. Checks should be made out to the Butler County Progressive PAC and mailed to Marilyn Elzey, 15122 Liberty Pike, Brookville, IN 47012.
The Gala is co-sponsored by the Change Butler PAC, the Greater West Chester Democratic Women’s Club, the Hamilton-Fairfield Democratic Alliance, and the Preble County Democratic Party.
In addition to Daiker, Elzey, and Gracie, the Gala Planning Committee includes John Alexander, Rick Bailey, Clyde Brown, Pete Carels, Eric Carman, John Harman, Valerie Hart, Donna Mollaun, and Edward Wagner.
