A Constitutional Convention Delegate position
State of Ohio Elections
This year, we have an opportunity to take our state back. The Republicans have controlled all the major positions in the state for the last eleven years and have blocked all legislation that can help the middle class and us as unionized workers.
They have controlled both the senate and house and have appointed all the subcommittee chairmanships which control what legislation reaches the floor for debate and vote.
Our governor was rated the worst in the United States, and with coin gate (workers compensation investments) on his watch, the situation our schools are in (ordered by the Supreme Court twice to fix the funding), and jobs leaving Ohio, why would we give the Republicans more opportunity to drag us further into the situations they have created in Ohio.
As soon as all the endorsements for Ohio have been made by our State CAP, I will publish them.
We will be electing a United States Senator this year, and our State CAP has endorsed Paul Hackett for U.S. Senate.
Paul Hackett
Paul Lewis Hackett III (born March 30, 1962) is a trial lawyer and veteran of the Iraq War who unsuccessfully sought election to the United States Congress from the Second District of Ohio –map (http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/images/pdf/congdist/OH02_109.pdf) in the August 2, 200S, special election. Hackett, a Democrat, narrowly lost to Republican Jean Schmidt, a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, providing the best showing in the usually solidly Republican district by any Democrat since the 1974 election. Hackett's campaign attracted national attention and substantial expenditures by both parties. It was viewed by some observers as the first round of the 2006 elections. In October 2005, Hackett said he would seek the Democratic nomination in 2006 to challenge incumbent U.S. Senator Mike DeWine.
Background
Hackett was born in Cleveland, Ohio. When Paul was an infant, his family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. Before Hackett started school, his family returned to Ohio when his father took a job in Evendale, a Cincinnati suburb.
He has a B.A. from Case Western Reserve University and a J.D. from the Marshall Col1ege of Law at Cleveland State University. Hackett also attended American University in Washington, DC, studying under the university's Washington Semester program in Journalism. Hackett was admitted to the Ohio bar on November 7, 1988 and practices law in downtown Cincinnati with the Hackett Law Office, which he opened in 1994.
Hackett saw active duty in the Corps from 1989 to 1992, and then joined the Select Marine Corps Reserve in 2004, he volunteered for active duty in the Iraq War spending seven months as a civil affairs officer with the 4th Civil Affairs Group of the 1st Marine Division. He was assigned to Ramadi and supported the Fallujah campaign and reconstruction efforts there. On 12 October 2004, a convoy under his command was hit by two roadside bombs, but Hackett was uninjured. He returned to Ohio in early 2005.
Enters the race for Congress
Hackett decided to run for Congress because "with all that this country has given me. I felt it wasn't. right for me to be enjoying life in Indian Hill when Marines were fighting and dying In Iraq".
Please support and advocate: Paul Hackett – U.S. Senate
