I believe Randy Cole can respresent our 41st District well. We have lost alot of representation with Mr. Williams, as well as with our Akron Ward 8 councilman, Bob Keith. Our district survives due to the hard working people who live here and are for the most part, self sufficient. But we also have the same economic problems also. We also need someone who will help our growing senior community. Randy Cole can reach across the aisle and work with any party member to acheive results. People thought Mr. Williams would lend a positve note for our school children, especially in our Akron LSD. Nothing was accomplished in his first term. He had his chance. Time for someone else to elect. Altthough I love animals, and their well being, they cannot vote! Legislation to help PEOPLE comes first! Thank you

You'd think with all the connections that Brian Williams had from his days as superintendent, that he would have been able to accomplish something. According to your synopsis, he hasn't done a thing.
Every citizen in Ohio ought to think very carefully about economic issues and which candidate can responsibly help our economy. At least Randy seems to have a good backgound to understand economic concerns.

There's no doubt that Ohio needs leadership. We need someone that can do rather than talk. Williams has had two terms and little to show. What gets me is that our elected leaders point fingers, make excuses and ask for another term to get things done. Randy appears to be the type of person that has the ability to balance the needs of many stakeholders and as a State Rep. I would think that looking at all sides and finding ways to get the people's business done would be a welcome change in Columbus. Randy's got my vote.

And DA, it is a slightly leaning Republican district I believe…around 52%.

Sorry, I didnt have a professional camera to take a larger widescreen like shot. There were a good number of people there at the three hour event that came and went at various times. It was a good turnout and good food, of which I helped myself to some.

Ben, it is good to see coverage of these kind of local grass roots political events, even if they are for Republicans. Good work.

The 41st District needs someone that actually understands how the Ohio Government operates, like Randy Cole. The incumbent has developed a reputation as a Representative that frustrates government agencies due to his incomprehensiveness. Maybe it is a combination indifference and a lack of knowledge.

Randy Cole is the right person for this position. He will work hard to ensure that our families can stay in Ohio. Randy is very open-minded in looking at innovative ways to solve problems. His positive attitude is infectious. He is open, honest and ready to be our State Representative. I am so very proud to be associated with Randy Cole.

I didn't really think about how the loss of one job can impact so many people. If our children leave the area, so are we. Our vactions and holidays will be spent probably somewhere else. That is all money leaving our area. After talking with Randy, I feel he really will get companies to look at all we have to offer here in Akron.

Hey Randy, why don't you go to your "coach" for somemore inspiration and marching orders? After all is he not the one that will be telling you what to do rather than the constituancy?

It is sad that so many people are leaving Ohio and Randy will be the guy to bring them back. With economic growth and opportunities we will see people come to Ohio. Randy will bring Ohio back to being the Heart of it all!
