On Sunday, September 23,2007, the Dayton Daily News published an article that appeared on its website about Medina County going for Sherrod Brown and Ted Strickland in the 2006 elections. The article quotes Medina County Democratic Chair Pam Miller and the Medina County coordinator for the Kerry campaign in 2004 and the Brown/Strickland campaigns in 2006, Medina attorney David Brown.
The article is pretty interesting, although to a certain extent it misrepresents the success of local Medina County Democratic candidates. Although the article claims that all the local offices are held by Republicans, that isn't entirely accurate. Medina County Democrats have held the Auditor's office since 1982 and have held the Medina County Prosecutor's office for all but four years since 1980. Medina County Democrats also occupy three of the county six judicial positions, from 1976 to 1996 held the Sheriff's office, and from 1980 to 1996 held one of the three seats on the Board of County Commissioners.
Putting aside those discrepancies, the article is an interesting read, and there are also links to other Daily News articles on the state of the Ohio Democratic Party. If you are interested in Medina County and/or Democratic politics, check it out.
