CLEVELAND, Ohio- Today, Biden for President announced Joe Biden's guests for the first presidential debate tonight held in Cleveland, Ohio, namely Kristin Urquiza of San Francisco, California, Gurneé Green of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and James Evanoff Jr. of Cleveland, Ohio. 

Kristin Urquiza shared a powerful story at the Democratic National Convention about losing her father to COVID-19 in Arizona, declaring his "only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump — and for that he paid with his life." Urquiza is an environmental advocate at Mighty Earth and co-founded the awareness campaign "Marked by COVID."

Gurneé Green is a small business owner from Cleveland Heights who was highlighted during the Democratic National Convention. He owns the Cleveland Heights fashion boutique Chemistry 11. In addition to being a small business owner, Gurneé is a certified healthcare information technologies analyst and mother of two. 

James Evanoff Jr. is a service technician in Cleveland. He has eight years of seniority with United Steel Workers (USW) and works at ArcelorMittal, which was recently acquired by Cleveland Cliffs. 

The campaign said that Vice President Biden's debate night guests represent the working families he will fight for as President, and they each highlight how Donald Trump's failures to control the virus and save the economy have hurt hard working Americans lives and livelihoods.

Cleveland Clinic, just named the second best hospital in the world in U.S. News rankings, will co-host the event along with Case Western Reserve University, a private and prominent research university created in 1967.


The first of three debates scheduled before the November election, Tuesday's debate will be held  at the Samson Pavilion at CWRU on the clinic's main campus and will air uninterrupted from 9 pm to 10:30 pm on every major network and cable news channel.


The University of Notre Dame, in South Bend, Indiana had originally agreed to be the host but pulled out amid the coronavirus pandemic.


Both Biden and Trump received a limited number of tickets for invited guests to tonight's debate , which is essentially off limits to the public fur to the coronavirus pandemic.


Since the pandemic broke in early March Ohio has reported 152,000 confirmed cases and some 4, 746 deaths, the U.S. alone compiling some seven million cases and roughly 205,000 coronavirus deaths. 


Led by four- term mayor Frank Jackson, the city's third Black mayor, Cleveland is a major American city, and a Democratic stronghold that sits in Cuyahoga County, also a Democratic stronghold, and the second largest  of 88 counties in Ohio, a pivotal state for presidential elections.


Cleveland became the first major city to elect an African-American mayor when voters elected the late Carl B Stokes to the post in 1967, Stokes the brother and only sibling of the late Louis Stokes, the first Black congressman from Ohio.


A former longtime U.S. senator, Biden served as vice president under former president Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president, from 2009 to 2017, the year Trump, a real estate mogul and former reality television host who won over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, took over as president.

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
