Bradford Scott Quade, Candidate for Ohio House of Representatives, District 66
When I am not volunteering with the schools or pretending to be Old MacDonald on his farm, I am often taking to the streets in advocacy – sometimes in protest, sometimes in support -- adding my voice to those who stand with the disenfranchised, the oppressed, and the subjugated. I stand up for those who are targets of the bigotry, misogyny, and hate born of fear and ignorance. For those who have lost their own hope, their own voice, their own sense of worth, I offer mine. Among my priorities upon taking office, will be reframing accessibility to meaningful economic and social participation in society through appropriate funding of public education, workforce training, small business growth, and public resources and support systems. These efforts will require working with those with whom I may not agree. Civilly acknowledging and then building upon the creative potential provided by diversity of opinions, world views, and life experiences is how we build a better Ohio.

However, this did not discourage me. I am qualified in many ways, own an internationally known recording company, lobby in Washington D.C., sat on many nonprofit boards, am a known philanthropist and awarded volunteer. Why did I run? To make a needed change in Columbus. Address major issues i.e. crime, health care for women, mental health issues both drug and alcohol, rural health issues, education more trade schools, and make work more honorable. Who am I? I finished my advanced education as a nontraditional full scholarship student at CWRU, I was one of the first white women to break into advertising at the Plain Dealer, I lobbed in D.C., trained as a beautician. What do I stand for? Honesty, integrity, hard work commitment, and forward thinking.

Carol Brenstuhl, Candidate for Medina County Commissioner
I have been a resident of Medina County since 1999. I grew up near the Poconos in Pennsylvania. Throughout my career I have worked in different states and cities, so this helps to give me different perspectives on how to get this done and helps one think outside of the box to accomplish necessary results. Due to a promotion in 1999 in which I had staff in six states, OH, IN, IL, MI, MN and WI, I chose OH, specifically Medina to live in. Even though my career took me to other companies, I chose to remain living in Medina County.
I am a wife, mother and NiNi (grandmother) to two wonderful grandchildren, a boy, and a girl. They are my sunshine and my everything. My husband and I live in Montville Township, on land that was once part of his grandfather’s dairy farm. I have had over 40 years of accounting and tax experience working for companies which ranged in size from small to large. Ownership also varied from locally owned companies, to partnership, and to internationally/globally owed companies/corporation. I have a master’s degree in taxation. I also served my country in the PA Army National Guard. I have volunteered and been active in different Non-Profit organizations and groups over the years. Serving as a board member and/or volunteer. I feel with all my years of accounting, taxation, organization, and supervisory skills I will be able to bring a new life into the Medina County Commissioners position. In other words, a breath of fresh air and enlightenment. I am running for this office to service all my constituents in Medina County. I am looking forward to working at helping to cut taxes in areas if possible and keeping Medina County fiscally responsible.
