WAYNE COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY ENDORSES JIM RENACCI FOR CONGRESS
Wayne County GOP calls Renacci “by far the best candidate” to remove Boccieri
Canton, OH—Today, the Wayne County Republican Party announced its official endorsement of Jim Renacci for Congress in Ohio’s 16th district. Party Executive Committee members voted to endorse Renacci at their board meeting in Wayne County on Wednesday night.
“During the past several months as he’s campaigned throughout our county and across our district, Jim Renacci has demonstrated that he is, by far, the best candidate to take out John Boccieri in the fall. His proven dedication to core conservative values, combined with his decades of experience creating jobs, balancing budgets and helping grow our economy, sets him miles apart from the other candidates in this race. We are confident that in Washington, Jim Renacci will serve as a voice and vote for our values and our community, and we are proud to endorse him as the next Congressman from Ohio’s 16th district,” Wayne County Republican Party Chairman Jim Smail said.
A resident of the 16th district since 1983, Jim Renacci has dedicated that past 27 years to raising a family, growing a business and serving his community. His experience in public service includes five years as a volunteer fireman, two terms as President of the Wadsworth City Council and one term as Mayor of Wadsworth. As Mayor, Renacci balanced the city’s $80 million budget and converted its multi-million dollar deficit into a surplus, without raising taxes. As a small business owner, Renacci created over 1,500 new jobs in the region and has employed more than 2,500 Ohioans.
“I am deeply honored to have received the endorsement of the Wayne County Republican Party. Over the past several months as I’ve campaigned throughout our district, I’ve enjoyed spending a great deal of time in Wayne county, talking with residents about the issues that matter most to them and discussing how we can move our country forward together. Not only have I been humbled by the groundswell of support for my campaign, but I have also been greatly encouraged by the thirst for common sense conservatism that I have seen and heard in Wayne County and across the district. I am truly grateful to have earned this endorsement and I look forward to serving as a new voice for our district in Washington,” Jim Renacci said.
