I urge you to vote for Kelly Wicks for State Representative on November 8th. He will bring fresh energy and ideas to Columbus.
Kelly has been running a small business – the coffee shop and bookstore, Grounds for Thought, for decades. On a daily basis, he comes in contact with businessmen and students, townies and new BG residents, Democrats and Republicans. Kelly and his wife Laura have made Grounds into BG’s cultural center, hosting art displays, political speeches, poetry readings and free concerts.
Kelly loves music, and as a co-founder of the Black Swamp Arts Festival, he has brought many great musical acts to BG over the years, and thousands of people have come downtown to see them. Kelly has also been president of the Downtown Business Association. He is well qualified to be your state representative. He is not a career politician, and he wants to go to Columbus to get things done.
Budget cuts under John Kasich have hurt communities across Ohio. Kelly is a strong supporter of public education and he will fight for this cause. I have been friends with Kelly Wicks for many years. He is smart, kind and honest and will be a great asset in Columbus.
