OH-16: John Boccieri Summer Fun Edition

Team,

With less than a month to go in the summer season, our campaign and our candidate are still going strong at events across the district. Thanks to those of you who participated in the Carnation Days Festival Parade, the Wooster Cruise-In, the Canton Greek Festival, the North Canton Festival, and the Obama Headquarters opening.

John had another great week, making stops at a Canton neighborhood block party, several house parties in Wadsworth , the North Canton Festival, and the Wayne County and Ashland County Farm Bureau annual meetings. John also spent part of Thursday meeting with business leaders, workers and community members in Ashland.

We also want to spotlight our second Volunteer of the Week: Dan Ehret. Dan is a Massillon resident and student at Stark State who has been volunteering with the Boccieri campaign since early spring. Dan has contributed in countless ways, including hosting and organizing a "Backyard Economic Discussion" at his home last month.
