District (old Boundary) will be coming to participate and there may be

favorites to the Convention to vote for President, then this is the real

significance of the Caucus. The delegates have the real votes.

Guest Speakers:
FRANCES STRICKLAND & David Pepper
Frances Strickland is the former First
Lady of Ohio (January 8, 2007-January 8, 2011) and an educational
psychologist.
Biography
Frances Strickland grew up on a dairy farm in Simpsonville,
Kentucky Shelby
County, Kentucky, graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Murray
State University, and was a health and physical
education teacher and received her doctorate in educational
psychology at the University
of Kentucky where she met Ted
Strickland. She and Governor Strickland met on the day after Christmas in
1973 and married that day in 1987. They were both 46, and decided it was too
late to have children. After she graduated, she served as a school psychologist
for many years in a public school system. She plays the guitar
and is often heard at rallies for her husband. As the First Lady of Ohio, she
serves as the chair of the Family and Children First Councils, composed of
state-agency leaders that helps families seeking government services. She has
also written a children's novel about the first female Governor
of Kentucky Martha
Layne Collins.

David Pepper
David Pepper has a track record of stepping up to bring common sense,
responsible leadership at tough times.
David made his first run for political office at 29 years’ old (in 2001),
and finished first out of a field of 26 candidates for
Cincinnati City Council. It was the first time a newcomer finished first
in almost 40 years. David ran for reelection in 2003, again finishing
first by an even larger margin over a field of 26 candidates. He won
both traditionally Democratic and Republican wards across the City.
|
David arrived at City Council shortly after the Cincinnati riots
(Dec. 2001), and at a time of deep concern among citizens of Cincinnati. Over
the next four years, he helped lead the way to reform city
hall, heal police-community relations, add officers to the
street, reinvigorate economic development downtown and in other parts of
the City, and lower property tax rates. His final year on Council
marked the first increase in the City’s population in
decades.
In 2006, David challenged Hamilton County
Commission President (and former Lt. Gov candidate) Phil Heimlich in
2006, after the County’s direction reached a low point under the
Heimlich-DeWine majority. By winning numerous cross-over voters,
and winning outright in some traditionally Republican areas, David (53%)
was the leading Democratic vote getter of all the Democrats (statewide)
on the County ballot. David’s win marked the first time
Democrats have held the County majority in 40 years.
|
Taking office in January 2007, David arrived at a County government that had
been badly mismanaged—a squandered reserve fund, wasteful spending,
questionable ethics and management practices, poor relations with the state and
City, and underinvested and unsuccessful economic development. Since he
arrived, David has fought to clean up the mess: adding
fiscally prudent policies and reforms to assure responsibility and
accountability while eliminating waste and reducing overall spending by
tens of millions of dollars; implementing ethics reforms;
improving relations with the city and state; pushing to reform
the criminal justice system; and investing in new economic growth and recovery
strategies, creating thousands of jobs and successfully moving
forward on the Banks project to revitalize Ohio and Cincinnati’s riverfront.
Other Biographical Information
Since 2000, David, 38, has also served as an attorney in the Cincinnati
office of the law firm of Squire Sanders & Dempsey, where he concentrates
his practice on appellate litigation. From 1999-2000, he clerked for Judge
Nathaniel Jones on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in
Cincinnati.
|
David graduated from Cincinnati Country Day in 1989 and earned his B.
A. magna cum laude from Yale University in 1993, where he was Phi Beta
Kappa and served as Managing Editor of the Yale Daily News. David earned
his J.D. from Yale Law School in 1999, where he won several school-wide
awards for his written work and was a published law review author three
times
David is a fifth-generation Cincinnatian, coming
from a family with a long tradition of public service to the community
and with roots throughout the region.
