Redfern launches Web site, encourages Democratic forum

Hoping to share his views on the issues facing Ohio and provide a resource for Democrats throughout the state, House Democratic Leader Chris Redfern today launched his new Web site, www.redfernforohio.com.

Redfern, who traveled this spring to 22 cities as part of a statewide town hall meeting tour, saw a need for a centralized site where Democrats can become better informed, share ideas and find ways to get more involved.

“Ohioans across the state asked for a way to stay connected, and I wanted to offer that,” Redfern (D-Catawba Island) said. “The Web site is designed to showcase what I have been fighting for as the Democratic Leader, and most importantly, to provide a place for dialogue where all Ohioans can come together and discuss how we can move our state forward.”

Redfern, who is considering a run for statewide office, said he hopes the site will be a place to share thoughts, ideas and concerns about Ohio’s future, and the upcoming political races in 2006.

“Next year will be an important and exciting time for not only Democrats but for all those who want real change and reform for how we do business in Columbus,” said Redfern. “It is my hope that by launching this Web site and continuing to travel the state and hear from Ohioans, we will be able to engage in a great conversation about how to move Ohio forward for all of us, not just some of us.”
