I remember when Sen. Fedor had the courage to stand up to the religious right and stand up for the First Amendment when she tried and defeat the unconstitutional stripper bill.
I found this statement from her and wanted you to see it:
From State Senator Teresa Fedor
SENATOR FEDOR RELEASES STATEMENT REGARDING TENURE AS LEADER
"I am proud of the leadership I have provided as Senate Minority Leader. Over the past year, I have had the honor of advancing important legislation, raising over $191,000 in a six-month period, recruiting strong candidates for 2008 and working with one of the finest Governors in our nation. I am proud of all of the hard work and accomplishments the Senate Democratic Caucus has achieved during my tenure as Leader. The job of Minority Leader is often taxing and thankless, but my experience has been one that I will cherish.
"As we move into this pivotal time in American politics, I have left a legacy of qualified, dynamic candidates for all 16 of our Senate races this coming year. Our candidates are a cross-section of our state, truly representing the best that Ohio has to offer. I am confident that they will go on to win seats and represent the people of our great state.
"Under my leadership, the Democratic Caucus passed as many bills out of committee and out of the Senate in the past year as it did during the entire two-years prior. Additionally, we were able to pass a nearly unanimous budget that invested in what matters, including a tax cut for one-third of all Ohioans and healthcare coverage for all children. I was also proud to help shepherd through the Governor's Energy, Jobs & Progress bill which will provide reliable, affordable, and renewable energy to this State for decades to come. Finally, I am most proud of my caucus' work to ensure a responsive and responsible government for the people of Ohio.
"There are many important issues affecting Ohioans that I have the opportunity to focus on. I look forward to working with Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to fix a flawed election system and continuing my effort with Governor Ted Strickland to create an education-funding system that provides an equal opportunity for all of Ohio's children."
"I am proud of the distinguished record that I have achieved as the Senate Minority Leader. I wish my successor well and look forward to continuing my most important work in the Senate: serving the citizens of the 11th district and all of Ohio."
