Retain Toledo City Councilwoman Taylor Balderas for District 3—this BGSU grad is young but has the passion and skill necessary to represent District 3, as she has done since her appointment by Council in January. This is not a primary for Balderas but a special election on May 2.  

Retain U.S. Councilwoman Marcy Kaptur, who has been a friend of Latinos for over 22 years; early on, she realized the dangers of NAFTA, CAFTA, and HR 4437 (the draconian Sensenbrenner-King immigrant-bashing, build-a-Berlin-wall, make-everyone-a-felon bill) and promptly voted against these proposals. In the Democratic primary on May 2^nd, vote for Marcy Kaptur for Congress, representing District 9 (Lucas to Lorain County).

Ben Konop with attorney Roman Arce

In the Democratic primary, vote for Toledo-native Ben Konop for Lucas County Commissioner. Konop, a Democrat untainted by scandal, ran a hard and close race to replace U.S. Congressman Mike Oxley—who voted for HR 4437 and has since bowed out. Konop, who has voiced strong objections to HR 4437, is primed to energetically represent Lucas County as its third commissioner. Lucas County has had enough elections by victorious candidates subsequently tainted by scandal. Retain Phil Copeland on city council by voting for Ben Konop on May 2^nd.
