Kilroy Is Ready to Take On Bankers' Best Friend---Steve Stivers

Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy is prepared for anything that may come along in the campaign. With a firm understanding of the needs of the people of Ohio's 15th district, she plans to help our district.

On the other hand, Republican candidate Steve Stivers, a career lobbyist for banks, would do a fine job to make sure that his bank buddies are not forced to face more regulations. After all, 'Stivers voted against a bill to make it easier for victims of predatory lending to sue' (Dispatch). Doesn't he sound like a cold, uncaring person?

Here is some additional information from the same Disptach article:
Kilroy said she expects to benefit from a high turnout of Democratic voters yearning for change. She dismissed Stivers' contention that he also embodies change.

"We're talking about changing more than the name of the person representing us," Kilroy said. "We're talking about someone who will stand up for the 15th Congressional District, for health care, for ending tax breaks for companies that send jobs overseas, for bringing the troops home."

Way to go, Mary Jo!
