In final week before election, Sherrod Brown shares the love with rest of Ohio Democratic ticket

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Heading into the final days before the Nov. 6 election, Sen. Sherrod Brown plans to share his fundraising largesse with the rest of the Democratic ticket.

Through his campaign and an affiliated committee, Brown later this week will transfer $300,000 to the Ohio Democratic Party's federal account, according to his campaign manager, Justin Barasky. He also has cut checks for maximum contributions of $12,707 each to the five Democrats -- Rich Cordray for governor, Kathleen Clyde for secretary of state, Steve Dettelbach for attorney general, Rob Richardson for treasurer and Zack Space for auditor -- running for Ohio's five statewide executive offices.

The contributions suggest Brown -- who has raised a record $27.1 million as of Oct. 17 -- feels confident enough in his re-election chances that he is comfortable sharing his resources with other candidates.

Asked about this, Barasky said: "It's a sign of Sherrod's confidence in the ticket, and a sign of Sherrod's confidence that the stronger everyone's campaign is, the better we're all going to do."

$27.1 MILLION? And the ability to support the whole Democratic ticket? And now Brown and his entire political operation and professionals have experience that they can teach to other campaign managers, organizers, fund raisers.

I tell you this operation has LEGS!

I've been lurking since the beginning but seldom post throughout the years as my nature is one of a quiet participant as opposed to
replying to a lot of threads. anyway I can't make a post until I have responded to 10 posts from other individuals. rather then writing "yup' to ten posters I thought I would just ask in the ohio group if someone can refer me to a lawyer who does wills. I live outside of Columbus near Canal Winchester and although I have lived in Ohio for almost 18 years The only time I used a lawyer was for my divorce, and damn my bad luck it turns out he's a rabid Republican douche! I hope this doesn't go against the spirit of the group or DU.


I come to DU every day and really enjoy the site. I vote in every election, and at this stage in my life (I'm 56) I can't stand the republican party and the hate filled machine it has become. So, needless to say I only want a lawyer with democratic leanings. OH, I almost forgot. My name is Chet. thanks everyone in advance and hope my next post is congratulating everyone on winning the house and a boatload of governor-ships. Thank you.
