Building trades labor group backs Garrison for secretary of state
The Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council has endorsed state Rep. Jennifer Garrison, D-Marietta, for Ohio Secretary of State in 2010.
The council “knows that Jennifer will work to administer fair elections,continue her support of transparent government and work to create and protect jobs for Ohioans,” Dennis Duffey, council secretary-treasurer said in a press release.
Garrison is running against Franklin County Commissioner Marilyn Brown for the Democratic nomination.
The council coordinates and supports state-affiliated construction industry trade unions.
“I accept their endorsement and plan to work with their 90,000 members to protect and create Ohio jobs,” Garrison said in the release.
On the Republican side, state Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, and Sandra O’Brien, former Ashtabula County auditor, are seeking the secretary of state nomination.
Incumbent Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is running for the U.S. Senate.
