Progress Ohio celebrated its first anniversary last night at our downtown Columbus office with balloons, cake, and over 70 guests.

Executive Director Brian Rothenberg summarized two of the year's key accomplishments: Progress Ohio has built an online community of over a quarter million progressives from every corner of Ohio. Close to one half of those have participated in at least one action, such as submitting a blog post at ProgressOhio.org, or signing an online petition.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, Franklin County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy, Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Patsy Thomas, and State Representative Ted Celeste spoke briefly, all thanking the progressive community for their work.

Attorney Cliff Arnebeck, Chair of Legal Affairs Committee of Common Cause Ohio, cut the cake.
