Ohio 15th US Rep Deborah Pryce NEEDS TO GO!!
Advertisements [?]
Ok, the OH 15th congressional district (in the Columbus area) was won by John Kerry in 2004. Yet the congressional rep is a deputy of Tom DeLay who often votes for incredibly conservative legislation. Every time DeLay holds a press conference, Pryce is right there next to him, giving him her support.
In 2004, she ran against a deadbeat candidate with no cash and not much of a campaign. Yet he still pulled in over 40%. 4 years ago, her opponent got around 25-30% (not exact stat, memory based). This is a clear indication that the people of her district are sick and tired of her. But the Ohio democratic party never has the balls to put a strong candidate up against her. I think this needs to change.
I've been searching around the internet for possible challengers, and I've found 2 that look intriguing. One is Richard C. Pfeiffer, the Columbus City Attorney. I don't know if this is a lofty enough position, but the guy looks pretty good. He's a Vietnam vet, and a very very strong environmentalist. Here's his website: http://www.columbuscityattorney.org/. Another is Columbus City Council President Matt Habash. Here's his website: http://council.ci.columbus.oh.us/councilmembers/habash/.
Obviously, these are just ideas, I know very little about either of these guys. But I firmly believe that Deborah Pryce should be one of our top target in 2006, for she is very vulnerable. I could make 1000 attack ads against her without even blinking, she has such a terrible record. I'd really appreciate it if any of you could help me out in my search to find a good candidate, and then work to try and convince this person to run. After that, we'd contact the DNC, moveon and anyone else that could help, because Pryce needs to go.
I apologize for the lack of organization in this post, I'm just excited/frustrated.
