In conjuction with the tour, the campaign released this radio ad.

Connie is well known for her Pulitzer Prize-winning column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A collection of her best columns, which celebrate the daily lives of Ohioans, was recently published under the title "Life Happens: and other unavoidable truths."

She took an unpaid leave of absence this February to volunteer full time on her husband's campaign.

Connie is excited to hit the road on the Hometown Tour. She loves to share her experiences as a wife, mother and Ohioan, and hear people's stories and dreams for a better Ohio.

We hope to see you there.

Calling for Change: Washington Co. Young Dems Build Support for Sherrod

Washington Co. Young Dems volunteer for Sherrod

There's still more than seven months to go until Election Day, but Washington County Young Democrats are already burning up the phone lines to encourage undecided voters to support Sherrod Brown.

In less than three hours, the high school students made more than 500 phone calls to voters in the area.

Issues like higher education funding, the War in Iraq, and concerns about the environment inspired the dozen Young Democrats to volunteer.

Regional Field Organizer Josh Wolf was thrilled with the turnout and welcomed all the help the group can bring during the campaign.

The next meeting of the Washington County Young Democrats will be on April 2nd at 2 PM at the Sherrod Brown for U.S. Senate Campaign Headquarters (112 Putnam Street, Marietta, OH).

Any high school democrats interested in getting involved, contact Jeanne Wilson, 740-376-7231 or by email Jeanne@sherrodbrown.com.

Plain Dealer Covers Sherrod On the Road in Southern Ohio

Sherrod visits his Marietta HQ.

Sherrod chats with patrons in local coffee shop.

In the first of an occasional series of multimedia slideshows, the Plain Dealer's political website OPEN covers Sherrod's campaign swing through southern Ohio.

The slideshow was produced by Dale Omori of the Plain Dealer and includes audio and text throughout the presentation.

The slideshow is an up-close look at Sherrod's personality and campaign style.

The Plain Dealer also posted a lengthy profile of Sherrod on Sunday, "Brown Foraging for Votes in GOP Bastions."

The gravel-voiced politico with curly flyaway hair is doing all he can to become the first Ohio Democrat to win a statewide nonjudicial office in more than a decade. Instead of relying on Democratic strongholds such as Northeast Ohio for victory, Brown is already foraging for votes all over the state.

"I am writing off nowhere," he promises during a week in Ohio's hinterlands in late February to find volunteers, develop a field organization and raise money.

The nation is watching Brown's progress. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid believes low approval ratings for President Bush and Republicans could return the Senate to Democratic control in November. A Brown victory in Ohio is key to his plan.

Democrats say Brown can defeat GOP incumbent Mike DeWine because Brown is a strong fund-raiser who has statewide name recognition from serving two terms in the 1980s as Ohio secretary of state. They hope DeWine will be stung by voter backlash against Republicans even though he hasn't been personally linked to the GOP scandals roiling Washington and Columbus.
