Local 93 Conducting Endorsement Interviews
Members of Local 93’s Executive Board have been meeting with candidates this week in anticipation of making endorsements at the August General Meeting.

Monday’s meeting was with Dan Brady, who is running for the new County Council. A former Cleveland City Councilman (1986-1996) and member of the Ohio Legislature in the House and Senate, Brady was a key supporter in the battle against residency requirements.
“I’ve taken some knocks for supporting you guys,” Brady told the Executive Board. “Your issues are important to me. And if you can’t take a punch, you shouldn’t be in this job.”
Brady is married to another friend of Local 93, Ward 17 Councilwoman Dona Brady.
Tuesday we sat with another County Council candidate, Tom Jordan. He cited his long involvement with economic development in the cities of Cleveland, Lakewood and now North Royalton. The West Park resident faces Dale Miller, another ally in the residency battle.

Wednesday we met with Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, who has been aggressively fighting to protect the Ohio Police and Fire Pension by going after firms like AIG who were partially responsible for the drop in the pension funds. He was interested in learning about the history of Local 93 and our involvement with the Ohio Professional Fire Fighters Association, who have already endorsed Mr. Cordray.
The Executive Board thanks the candidates who have supported our issues and taken the time to seek our endorsement.
