CLEVELAND, Ohio -Former state senator Nina Turner, a Cleveland Democrat who lost a bid last year for secretary of state and is now the chair of political engagement for the Ohio Democratic Party, is the keynote speaker for a rally and fundraiser in Cleveland on Feb 16  from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm by the Ready for Hillary political action committee. (To R.S.V.P. and purchase tickets for the political gathering at Ready for Hillary.Com CLICK HERE ).

The event, which embraces the theme 'Cleveland for Hillary Clinton,' and adds fodder to widespread speculation that Clinton will in fact enter the race for president, will be held at the  Market Garden Brewery at 1947 West 25th Street in the Ohio City neighborhood on the city's west side. 

The host committee includes state Reps. Janine Boyd (D-9), a Cleveland Heights Democrat,  and Kent Smith( D-8), a Euclid Democrat, and Democratic caucus women Janet Carson, Cindy Demsey, Cory Shawver, Angela Shuckahosee, and  political heavyweight Lynnie Powell, the regional political director for the ODP.

Tickets for the fundraiser are $20.16, a figure that symbolically represents the year 2016, which is the year of the upcoming presidential election.

Politico reported Monday that Clinton, who won the Ohio Democratic primary in 2008 but lost the Democratic nomination for president to now President Barack Obama, has already approved a budget and moved ahead with campaign hires. She will officially announce her run for president in April, the report says.

If Clinton were to run, and subsequently win, she would become America's first female president. Ohio is a pivotal state for presidential elections, and perception wise may be the most notable state for Democratic and Republican presidential wannabe's to court. 

ODP Chairman David Pepper announced earlier this month that the state Democratic party is on a mission to support, through funding and other initiatives, local Democratic races for city council and other local offices in 2015, an effort, Democrats have said, to galvanize Democrats statewide from a grassroots perspective.

The 17 Cleveland City Council members, all of them Democrats except Green Party member Brian Cummins, are up for reelection in 2017, as is Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, who, like Turner, his ally, is Black, and a Democrat.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
