Democratic congressional candidate Ken Harbaugh spoke with students at a gathering in Wilder Hall, room 112 last Friday, Sept. 7. Harbaugh — a Navy veteran and a graduate of Duke and Yale Universities — is running to unseat Republican Bob Gibbs in Ohio’s seventh congressional district. While Oberlin is in the fourth district, currently represented by Republican Jim Jordan, several Oberlin students have begun internships with the Harbaugh campaign that they will carry out through Election Day on Nov. 6. Harbaugh is among many Democrats, both in Ohio and nationwide, who are running competitive races in traditionally Republican districts — including Democrat Janet Garrett, an Oberlin resident who is challenging Jim Jordan’s seat.
