It is rare I endorse a politician. The last person I endorsed was my best friend Miles Curtiss for University Area Commissioner. Because I rarely endorse anyone, I am very excited to endorse Oyango Snell for State Senator of Ohio’s 15th District.
He’s the underdog you find yourself rooting for the whole way through the film, from childhood to adulthood, he makes you gasp with encouragement. He has turned into a person who advocates loudly for immigration reform, health care for all Ohioans, women’ rights, civil rights, education, and any disenfranchised voice.
I believe in Snell, so much so, that although I usually vote for female candidates, I know he is a better candidate for the rights of women then his opponent. It is not always, a woman who is the best defender of women’s rights. He also seeks to have understanding and sympathy for all groups of people whether he “belongs” to that group or not. We had a great conversation about the Russian immigrants and Somali refugees in Columbus, right before he danced Salsa and spoke a little bit of Spanish with my mother.
Please vote for Oyango Snell.
You can vote early (that’s what I did) by going down to the Franklin County Board of Elections located at 280 E. Broad Street in downtown Columbus.
