Marcia Fudge, front-runner


With county commissioner Peter Lawson Jones deciding not to run for Congress, Warrensville Heights Mayor Marcia Fudge is now the front-runner to succeed Stephanie Tubbs Jones in Washington next year.

Fudge was Tubbs Jones' chief of staff and protege, long considered a possible successor to her.

You can read Cleveland Magazine's January 2007 profile of Fudge here.

The local Democratic party is holding a Sept. 11 meeting to choose who will take Tubbs Jones' place on the November ballot. That candidate will be heavily favored over the Republican in the heavily Democratic district. Mayor Frank Jackson and former U.S. Rep. Louis Stokes plan to interview the candidates and issue an influential endorsement. Others running include former state senators Jeff Johnson and C.J. Prentiss and former Cleveland city councilman Bill Patmon.

Salut la communauté, j’économisais pour un nouveau vélo de route mais les prix grimpaient. Les premières parties en ligne étaient frustrantes, pertes successives qui m’ont fait hésiter à continuer. Puis j’ai risqué plus sur duospin et un gros gain sur Razor Shark a tout relancé. Pour les joueurs français, des bonus spéciaux boostent les dépôts efficacement. Vélo pédalé et je recommande pour un coup de pouce.
