UPDATED - Sen. Brown to speak at health care rally to honor Kennedy
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown is scheduled to speak on Tuesday, Sept. 1, in Columbus at a rally for health care that’s being billed as a tribute to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who died last week before realizing his long-time goal of national health care reform.
Also, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner apparently are putting aside their battle for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, but just temporarily.
They’re also among the speakers scheduled for the rally
More than a 1,000 people are expected to attend the 7 p.m. rally at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus, according to a press release from rally backers. The rally is in the Lausche Building, 717 E 17th Ave. Organizing For America’s Reform Health Care Now tour bus will also be at the event.
Brown is expected to speak about 7:45 p.m.
