Danny O'Connor for OH-12 Special Election (August 7th)

Last edited Thu Jun 28, 2018, 09:53 AM - Edit history (1)

Danny O’Connor was born and raised in rural Ohio. His mom was a teacher, and his family taught him the value of service and giving back.

He attended Wright State University, and during his freshman year his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. He traveled home frequently to be with her, and thanks to a new drug and good health insurance, his mom is in remission and was able to afford the life-saving care she needed.

After graduating, O’Connor spent a year in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps as a legal advocate helping veterans, immigrants, and families stricken by poverty. O’Connor aided people who had nowhere else to turn, helping them keep their heat on, get the benefits they had earned through military service, and in some cases, allowing them to keep a roof over their heads.

After graduating law school, O’Connor worked in the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office before starting a law practice, serving people in the community and helping to run a small business.

Danny O’Connor was elected Franklin County Recorder in 2016, where he manages a staff of 54 employees. As Franklin County Recorder, O’Connor has helped turn the office around to make it more efficient for taxpayers and instituted reforms that helped homeowners, veterans, and the homeless. In 2015, Danny and his law partner were honored to contribute to the American Association of Matrimonial Lawyers Amicus Brief supporting Ohioan Jim Obergefell’s push to recognize marriage equality. And he worked to make the Recorder’s Office a place that supports working families, creating the department’s first paid family leave program for his employees.

The rep candidate, State Sen. Troy Balderson (R) has a lot of backing & $. Most of this district is NOT in Franklin County. It is the eastern & northern suburban counties of Columbus, the 'I got mine, too bad for you' counties. 89% white, 50.7 % female. In fact the eastern edge of the Ohio12th is in trump country.


Cook Political report, today, has it as +7 Republican.
O'Conner needs the $ for ad buys & GOTV efforts.

I like his background and he has a nice face (meaning I get a positive vibe from him). Best of luck to you!
