Ohio needs candidates

Looking to our northwest, an important notice about Ohio's 2006 races

Ohio's filing deadline is just 10 days away (Feb. 16th). Unfortunately, we appear to have several holes in our lineup. Barry Welsh's Congressional race tracker site is a terrific resource. However, in some cases, it's over-inclusive, listing candidates whose names have been floated but who aren't necessarily running.

The districts that need a Democratic candidate:  OH-07, OH-08, OH-16.

Why is it so important to run in every district in Ohio?

... Ohio's filing deadline is right around the corner, and we're three candidates short. Given the toll that scandal has taken on the OH GOP, and the seemingly resurgent fortunes of the Ohio Democratic Party, it would be a tragedy if we let three Republican seats go uncontested. Hopefully we'll see some last-minute filings, because 2006 is the year to be a Dem in Ohio.

So, spread the word to your friend in Ohio.  And, remember, Virginia's filing deadline is coming up on April 14.  We've got some uncontested races here as well.
