Candidates Speak at Non-Partisan Debate
Candidates for State Representative participated in a non-partisan debate, the only Statehouse candidates debate in Lorain County this election cycle, in Dye Lecture Hall Thursday. The Oberlin College Democrats, Oberlin College Republicans & Libertarians, and Lorain County Rising came across party lines to jointly host the event. “Planning with the OCDems was easy and fun,” Jacob Britton, a member of the Oberlin College Republicans & Libertarians, wrote in an email to the Review. “The organizers of the event planned this event out very well.” Candidates in attendance included Republican Rob Weber, Libertarians Daniel Fichtel and Homer Taft, and Democrats Joe Miller, James Johnson, Kelly Kraus Mencke, and Sharon Sweda.
