The time for “politics as usual” is past.
The time for public responsibility is upon us.

Good News! The NFIB Ohio SAFE Trust (National Federation of Independent Business) has endorsed my candidacy for State Representative. While their office will be notifying the media shortly, I wanted to share this good news with everyone right away. Here is what the NFIB said, “Your knowledge and sensitivity to business issues were key factors in our endorsement process. We believe…you will be a positive and proactive voice on behalf of small businesses while in the Ohio Legislature.” I am thrilled that one of America’s leading business advocates has endorsed me and I look forward to helping to rebuild Ohio’s economy when elected. -Jeff

That’s what will occur in August of this year. Feel free to pass this information along to friends, family and your local schools. This will be truly amazing.

Thank you everyone so much.  I couldn’t be doing this without all the help from so many good friends!

July 18th (11:00am – 1:00pm)

This is a Sunday brunch at Tom & Marilyn Forster’s beautiful condo in Huron (1144 By The Shores).  Cost is $50/single, $75/couple.  Special guest host is State Senator and Mrs. Wagoner.  Enjoy a relaxed brunch and the beauty of Lake Erie.  Politics might just break out here, too!  (Reservations: 419-433-2741)

Future Events

We are planning at least two and maybe three events in Ottawa County during the August/September time frame.  Stay tuned for more details as we get things put together.

July 4th (8:00pm – fireworks)

This is the annual ice cream and fireworks event on the LakeView Condo’s roof deck.  Not only can you see the Cedar Point fireworks, but 5 other displays at the same time.  Tickets are $20/person (kids under 10 free).  This is a family event (no alcohol).  Come and enjoy a relaxed evening among family and friends.  I’ll bet there’s a little politics being discussed!!!  Bring a lawn chair.  (Tickets: 419-433-2741)

June 26th (9:45am)

Join us for a joint Kasich/Krabill door-to-door blitz! We were honored to be the first to be asked to do such an event. The Kasich team has targeted Huron for this event. It will take about 3 hours and begins at the Southport Professional Bldg (304 Williams Street/Huron) with a conference call with John Kasich. Their team is sending about 30 volunteers up from Columbus for this blitz. We’d like to match that. Please join us. The more folks turning out, the bigger the job we can do and the easier it will be for everyone. If you can, e-mail us if you plan on helping. We’ll probably have some juice and rolls there for sustenance. Email ludwig.devon@gmail.com with questions or call 419-602-3345.

Listen to this Marine as he sings the fourth verse.  Very inspiring!

• School funding has been cut to most of Ohio’s districts for the first time since the DeRolph decision
• Schools like Sandusky, Port Clinton and Danbury are all being whiplashed by the new HB1 (EBM) funding scheme, and
• Sandusky will lose over $7 million annually when the current EBM is fully implemented.

But this isn’t enough havoc for one term in office. In his recent newsletter my opponent states, “We have also created a Renewable Energy School Pilot Program that promotes the innovative green energy industry in Ohio by requiring targeted school districts to install solar panels on their buildings. This commonsense measure will save money for Ohio schools and Ohio taxpayers while advancing our role in the alternative energy economy.” Several points about this statement jump out…

• If an industry is truly “innovative”, it doesn’t need state government to force it on us.
• “Requiring” schools to install anything is a mandate and flies in the face of a free society.
• Where does the funding come from for these solar panels? Is this just another mandate being forced on local taxpayers?
• “Commonsense” isn’t exactly what I would call a top down, Columbus-knows-best solution. Commonsense in America comes from the people.
• As for saving money, no it doesn’t. What it does is shift the cost to a different taxpayer’s pocket. Frankly, whether that money is from Washington or Columbus, their hand is still our pocket.

This is all more of the same from Dennis Murray. But who is paying the bill?
