CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-State Rep. John E. Barnes Jr, a Cleveland Democrat who represents the 12th house district in the Ohio General Assembly, is seeking election to the Ohio senate in district 25, the Democratic primary of which is March 8, 2018.

"People are hurting and they need support," said Barnes, who is term-limited as a state representative. "I have a more pragmatic approach to leadership and if elected I will represent Ohio's 25th senatorial district with an undying vision and a commitment to enhancing resources for my constituents and the state of Ohio as we work together to build a better tomorrow for our children."

Ohio's 25th senatorial district is comprised of the western portion of Lake County and the eastern portion of Cuyahoga County, including its applicable villages and townships and parts if not all of the cities of BeachwoodBedfordBedford HeightsClevelandCleveland HeightsEast ClevelandEastlakeEuclidKirtlandMaple HeightsMayfield HeightsMentorMentor-on-the-LakePainesvillePepper PikeRichmond HeightsShaker HeightsSouth EuclidWarrensville HeightsWickliffeWilloughbyWilloughby Hills, and Willowick. 
A product of the Union-Miles neighborhood on Cleveland's largely black east side, and the Cleveland public schools, Barnes has served in several positions of public trust, including as a state legislator,  chairman of the Ohio Commission on African American Males, and as a cabinet-level director in the administration of former Cleveland mayor Jane L. Campbell, the city's only woman mayor.
He holds an master's degree in business from Case Western Reserve University, and has focused his career on job creation, economic development, and international business and commercial relations

In the state legislature Barnes serves on the ways and means, health and aging, and the economic development and small business committees.

State Rep. Barnes has introduced numerous bills that received bipartisan support. He also participated as a member of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus’ official visit to South Africa in 2001.

As a state legislator, Barnes is responsible for bringing millions of dollars back to house district 12 for economic development and job creation initiatives. This includes monies for seniors and youth programs, and the poor, infrastructure iniatives, minority and female owned businesses, and $2 million for the Harvard Community Center to help teen mothers and fathers.

House district 12 covers Pepper Pike, Orange, Highland Hills, Warrensville Heights, North Randall, Bedford, Bedford Heights and most of Cleveland's Ward 1, the strongest voting bloc of Black voters in Cleveland.
The easy going Barnes, a likable politician by most standards, and one with strong values and a strong sense of community who is not afraid to say he is Black but also supports diversity across the board, is the older of two sons of former Cleveland councilman John E. Barnes Sr., who, along with his mother, instilled in him the value of service to others above one’s self.

"It is in this virtue," says Barnes Jr., "that is the foundation of our campaign, a grassroots campaign focused on public policy measures for the betterment of Ohians."

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
