AS BOCCIERI PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK FROM THE 16th, RENACCI CONTINUES TOWN HALL TOUR
 
Canton, OH—After failing to show up at the previously scheduled town hall meetings in Wayne and Ashland Counties last month, John Boccieri has yet another opportunity to join with Jim Renacci at a town hall meeting this coming Tuesday, September 7th at 7PM at the North Canton Civic Center. Although John Boccieri has so far refused to attend any town hall meetings or one-on-one debates with Jim Renacci, hope remains that Mr. Boccieri will finally own up to his record in Congress and answer to his constituents in person for the job-killing votes he’s been casting in Washington. While Mr. Boccieri was formally invited to the North Canton town hall meeting several weeks ago, it unfortunately comes as no surprise that he has not yet committed to the event. Jim Renacci has also confirmed that he will appear at a Medina County town hall scheduled for Monday, September 13th. 
 
“As our unemployment rate continues to climb and the residents of our district continue to suffer under John Boccieri and Nancy Pelosi’s reckless fiscal policies, it is deeply troubling to see that our current Congressman is so ashamed of his record that he refuses to face his own constituents in an open forum and listen to their mounting questions and concerns about his policies. I greatly look forward to meeting with voters at the Stark County town hall on Tuesday to discuss a wide range of issues, and I hope that John Boccieri can summon the political courage to join me,” Jim Renacci said today. 
 
In addition to the upcoming town hall forums, on Wednesday, Jim Renacci announced that he will participate in a debate in Wayne County on September 20th. Although earlier in the week the Boccieri campaign inexplicably attempted to mislead both the public and the press by announcing that a Stark County debate hosted by the Canton Jaycees had been set for October 12th, no such agreement had ever been reached—in part due to organizational failures, including lingering issues related to sponsorship of the debate. 
 
On Thursday, the Canton Jaycees formally notified the campaigns that negotiations with the two major media outlets who had been proposed as the debate’s sponsors had failed and have since been terminated. Although it is now official that Jim Renacci and John Boccieri will not face off on October 12th, Jim Renacci remains hopeful that John Boccieri will join him at the upcoming town hall meetings in Stark and Medina Counties, as well as at any of the other potential debates that are currently being considered.

JIM RENACCI LAUNCHES FIRST GENERAL ELECTION TELEVISON AD
 
 
Canton, OH—Today, the Jim Renacci for Congress campaign began airing its first television ad for the fall campaign, highlighting Jim Renacci’s record as a job creator and calling for an end to the reckless deficit spending and job-killing policies that are destroying Ohio’s economy. A 27-year resident of northeast Ohio, Jim Renacci built a business from the ground up, creating over 1,500 new jobs and employing over 2,500 Ohioans. As Mayor of Wadsworth, Jim brought his business background to local government and successfully balanced his city’s $80 million budget and converted its deficit into a surplus, without raising taxes. 
 
“While John Boccieri remains in hiding, refusing to discuss the issues that matter to voters—like our double digit unemployment rate or his votes for the cap and trade energy tax, ObamaCare and the Obama-Pelosi stimulus plan, I am proud to campaign on my low-tax, low-spending, pro-growth principles that our state and our country so desperately need,” Jim Renacci said today.
 
Since John Boccieri was elected to Congress, the unemployment rate in the 16th district has doubled while he cast votes in Washington for trillions of dollars in new taxes and deficit spending. Voting with Nancy Pelosi 94% of the time, John Boccieri has supported every major component of the Obama-Pelosi agenda, including cap & trade, ObamaCare and the economic “stimulus” plan.
