Friend,

On Wednesday, Ed participated in this election's one and only debate... and John Kasich didn't show up. But Ed continued anyway because he believes that you deserve to hear the candidates answer tough questions, even questions we on the campaign may not like. And sure enough, Ed was asked about his driver's license. But in responding to that question, Ed said something that many people at the debate told us we should share with you. You can watch it here ( https://secure.edfitzgerald.org/em_greatdebate?default_amt=25 )or read below: 

"If you run for governor they go through your whole life and they try to figure out the worst thing that they could say about you. And if the worst thing they can say is that I was careless about a driver's license and I let it become expired, so be it. That's the way that life goes and that's they way politics is sometimes. But I would just say this: If you look at the candidate [John Kasich] that didn't bother to show up tonight, which is also an indication of character by the way, and you look at his career outside of public office, you're talking about somebody that was making a seven figure salary from a Wall Street bank while advising public pensions to invest in that bank. And then, public pensions in Ohio lost hundreds of millions of dollars -- now what's a greater moral issue? 

If somebody wants to say that letting their license expire... if someone wants to say that that is a great moral issue, that's fine. But the fact is that people lost their pension money because of that and one publication in particular found it much more fascinating to talk about the status of someones driver's license than it did about [John Kasich's] really egregious behavior. And that doesn't even count the things that happened in office under Governor Kasich, which I think also have moral implications as well. I'm somebody that's been married for twenty three years. I have four children, and I have a record as a public servant of fifteen years. And that isn't what has been an issue, as to what kind of mayor or county executive I was. Because the strategy on the other side is to make this as superficial of an election as possible. That's reflected in all of their attacks, the fact that they won't deal with substance, and the fact that they won't even show up for a debate here today."

If you are able, please consider contributing whatever you can to help us share these truths to other Ohio voters and make this state go blue this election: https://secure.edfitzgerald.org/em_greatdebate?default_amt=25

Thank you,

Chip
