TUESDAY, MARCH 23 – 7PM
Virtual Event via Zoom
With the 2022 races right around the corner, the Chagrin Gateway Democrats invite you to spend an evening discussing the future of Ohio and the nation with Franklin County Recorder Danny O’Connor. O’Connor is believed to be considering a run for statewide office in 2022—possibly the U.S. Senate.
Register below. Zoom meeting link and passcode will be distributed the week of the event.

Daniel J. O’Connor Jr. has the honor of serving as Franklin County’s 30th Recorder. He was elected in November, 2016 to his first four year term and re-elected in 2020.
As the son of an educator, the need to give back to the community is a belief that was instilled in Danny from a young age. It is this idea that led Danny to serve in the poorest neighborhoods of the United States, to become politically active in the Democratic Party, and now, to serve as Franklin County Recorder. Danny is committed to public service, justice for all, and good government, a commitment he emphasizes every single day as Franklin County Recorder.
Following his undergraduate studies before he began law school, Danny served in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps as a legal advocate at Part of the Solution Legal Clinic in The Bronx, New York. In this capacity, Danny worked with veterans, immigrants, homeless individuals, and individuals stricken by poverty.
Danny received his undergraduate degree from Wright State University, where he served as President of the College Democrats. Danny continued his education at The Syracuse University College of Law, where he was a law alumni scholarship recipient, a member of the Dean’s List, Vice President of the Student Body, and recipient of the General Electric Student Leadership Award.
After graduating law school and passing the Ohio Bar exam, Danny worked in the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office in the juvenile division. In 2014, Danny joined the law firm of Weis and O’Connor, where he was a partner, specializing in family law. In 2015, Danny and his partner, Amy Weis, were honored to contribute to the American Association of Matrimonial Lawyer’s Amicus Brief which asked the Supreme Court of the United States to rule in favor of marriage equality. As of 2019, Danny is a partner in the law firm O’Connor, Haseley, and Wilhelm.
Danny, his wife Spenser, and their two dogs Mayo and Kilroy, reside in Clintonville and Dublin. They enjoy experiencing all that Franklin County has to offer.

With the 2022 races right around the corner, the Chagrin Gateway Democrats invite you to spend an evening discussing the future of Ohio and the nation with Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley.
Register below. Zoom meeting link and passcode will be distributed the week of the event.

Since taking office in December 2013, Cincinnati Mayor Cranley has placed a renewed focus on building vibrant, thriving neighborhoods by getting the basics right and making strategic investments to spur growth. Mayor Cranley implemented a multi-year plan to dramatically increase the miles of city roads that are paved and repaired annually, expanded the City’s efforts to crack down on absentee landlords and reduce blight, and invested in economic development deals throughout the city.
Mayor Cranley has led efforts to invest in job training, make the City more inclusive, and reduce poverty all while getting the City’s credit upgraded, wiping out the $800 million unfunded liability that the City’s pension system was facing, and adding over 100 cops to the police force.
Prior to taking office, Mayor Cranley co-founded the Ohio Innocence Project, a organization that has exonerated and freed 23 wrongfully convicted people through the use of DNA technology. He also worked as a real estate developer and attorney.
John graduated from St. William’s, St. Xavier High School. He earned degrees from John Carroll University, Harvard Law School and Harvard Divinity School.
John lives in Hyde Park with his wife Dena and their son Joseph.

With the 2022 races right around the corner, the Chagrin Gateway Democrats invite you to spend an evening discussing the future of Ohio and the nation with Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley.

Elected in 2013 as mayor of Ohio’s sixth largest city, Dayton’s Nan Whaley has helped lead an economic resurgence in Montgomery County while unexpectedly becoming a national voice on the issue of gun reform following a mass shooting in her city in the summer of 2019.
Her career is distinguished by her commitment to public service, civic involvement and interest in local government. First elected to the Dayton City Commission in 2005, Whaley was the youngest woman ever chosen for a commission seat. Elected as Dayton’s mayor in 2013 by a double-digit majority, she has focused on the areas of community development, manufacturing, and women and children.
Whaley is a national leader among her peers serving as the Second Vice President for the US Conference of Mayors as well as the Chair of the International Committee for the conference. She is also a founding board member for the Ohio’s Mayor Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of Ohio’s 30 largest cities.
Whaley has been committed to the political process in local, state and national elections. While in college, she served as Ohio Chair of the College Democrats. She currently serves as Second Vice President of the National Conference of Democratic Mayors. Additionally, she is a four time delegate to the Democratic National Convention.

Election Day Volunteering
2020-11-03 06:00 - 19:30
Running for Office

ELECTION DAY VOLUNTEERING
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 – SHIFTS RUN 6AM-7:30PM
Across the Chagrin Gateway Area
Sign up to volunteer on Election Day. We need folks to do the following:
Work the Polls – Our plan for Election Day is to fill shifts with at least one volunteer at priority precincts (we will try to staff two when possible). Volunteers will hold signs and make sample ballots available to Democratic supporters on their way in.
Make Phone Calls – We will begin making phone calls at 10AM and running throughout the day. You will receive at least one batch of calls (appx 50 names, more if you’d like more) to make during the day. The script is simple…we remind them that the polls are open until 7:30pm, that they can’t be refused a vote if they are in line by 7:30pm, and that they can vote provisionally if they requested a ballot and did not return it. We’ll also remind them where they vote this year. Once you’ve made the call, we’re done with that voter for 2020.
Rover – We’re looking for one to two cars per shift. The rover will distribute snacks (fruit, donuts, etc.) water, and coffee to our poll workers during the day. Expect to cover 3 to 4 polling locations during your shift. Your car will also have signs and literature for shift workers. You may also help provide a restroom break for the poll worker and take their spot for a short time. You are also the eyes and ears of our club’s campaign reporting things that are out of place or issues occurring at a polling location.
