RENACCI FILES PETITIONS FOR RE-ELECTION
Today, U.S. Representative Jim Renacci released the following statement after he filed the requisite petitions to appear on the 2012 ballot as a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Ohio’s 16th congressional district:
“Serving the people of Ohio’s 16th District as their representative to Washington is a tremendous honor and a deeply humbling experience. At a time when millions of Americans remain out of work or underemployed, there is no greater calling than fighting for the policies we need to restore strength to our economy and responsibility to our government. During the 11 months I have served in the House, I am proud to have reached across the aisle time and again to find bipartisan solutions to the problems we face, and to advance legislation that will lift the heavy hand of government that is choking progress toward job growth and economy recovery.
“The challenges we face today are not Democrat problems or Republican problems, they are American problems that require American solutions. I believe the people of the 16th District deserve a leader in Washington who will put progress before politics and solutions before sound bites. It is in that spirit and with an unyielding desire to restore common sense to our government that I ask the people of our district for the privilege to serve another term in their seat in the United States House of Representatives.”
Pursuant to state law, the petitions were filed in Cuyahoga County, which will stand as the district’s most populous county following passage of the redistricting map earlier this year.
