If we want to deliver real change for our community, we have to elect one of us. It’s that simple.
The equation changed on Wednesday with the entry into the race of a second viable Democrat, Morgan Harper, who ran a high-profile primary challenge last year for a congressional seat with the backing of national progressive groups.
Harper is a consumer protection attorney who served at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during the Obama administration and more recently directed a nonprofit working to break up corporate monopolies. Harper is also a community organizer and co-founded an organization that worked to protect vulnerable people from the spread of COVID-19.
Harper shared her campaign goals and made conversation with her potential constituents. She touched on topics including affordable living, small businesses and clean energy.
Harper answered every question as she held court with all comers for nearly two hours before taking as many questions at the Municipal Court House just blocks away where she held a press conference.
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Morgan Harper is setting a big goal for Ohio’s work force: 600,000 clean energy jobs over the next ten years.
