I love Mary Jo Kilroy. Mary Jo Kilroy is a local activist in central Ohio, she has been an active supporter of women and La Raza. I meet Mary Jo Kilroy through the Farm Labor Organizing Committee whom she has always been a big supporter of. When organizing a lecture by the President of FLOC at Ohio State University, he asked me to give Mary Jo a call and since I’ve meet her I’ve been amazed at all that she is involved in. I will write more about her later in the week but until then here is an email she sent out.
You people with a couple bucks to spare should go give her some money—she isn’t a politica she is an advocate for the people.
Hi,
My name is Mary Jo Kilroy and I am the Democratic candidate for Congress in OH-15. The incumbent is Republican leader Deborah Pryce – fourth ranking House Republican and stalwart of the Bush/Delay team. We are going to win, but we will need all of the help we can get.
Currently, I am President of the Franklin County Commission (after winning a first-term election many said was impossible, and a hard-fought second term). Eighty-nine percent of the district voters hail from Franklin County, so I have a record of winning in most of the district. In the last election, Kerry won here, setting the precedent for a Democratic win in 2006. A recent front-page NY Times article (Dec. 1) identified me as one of the strongest Democratic challengers in the nation.
I am asking you to go to www.KilroyForCongress right now and contribute whatever makes sense for you: $25, $60, $125, $250, $500 or even $1000 (the individual limit for the Primary election is $2,100). The media and national Party will look closely at the amount of money raised by December 31 – this Saturday – so anything you do today will be particularly helpful. Early support will make the difference.
Please feel free to contact me at 614-744-2344 if you have any questions or thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Mary Jo
