Quentin
Potter, candidate for Congress from Ohio’s 7th Congressional
District, recently spoke to the members of the Shelby Area Democratic
Club. The group met on Thursday, June 18 electronically.
“Good
government
matters because it works,” stated Mr.
Potter.
“I have 30 years of experience in making government work.”
The
North Canton resident most recently served as Vice
President and Treasurer for Lorain
County Community College for 3 years before
his
retirement. Prior to his leadership at the college, Quentin served
more than 20 years in state government, helping
create nine balanced state budgets and working with both Democratic
and Republican administrations.
Turning
his attention to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Potter said, “The lack
of a national plan is a concern for everyone.” He continued, “I
don’t believe my opponent is up to the challenge” in dealing with
COVID-19.
“I’m
hopeful that most people agree that there’s a need for a change in
leadership,” Potter concluded. “This election is serious
business.”
The
sprawling, heavily gerrymandered 7th Congressional District includes
northern Richland County, southern Huron County, and all or parts of
8 other counties. The communities of Shelby, Plymouth, Shiloh,
Willard, Greenwich, and New London are within its boundaries.
During
the business meeting, club members voted to make a significant
contribution of $500 to Quentin Potter’s campaign committee.
The
next meeting of the Shelby Area Democratic Club is scheduled for
Thursday, July
16.
