‘Barton’s ideas can contribute to Ohio’s growth’

This letter was written by Robyn M. Secrest, a teacher in Columbus City Schools.

James John Barton is an honest, loyal and intelligent candidate with persistence, drive and determination. He focuses on today’s economic realities with his proposals to build a strong Ohio.

He isn’t trying to solve all issues, nor does he rely on yesterday’s solutions.

Ohio has a 10-percent-plus jobless rate because jobs went overseas under previous leaders. These jobs have to come back if Ohio is to remain a manufacturing leader. Ohio can become a state of service businesses, but vocational and trade industries are just as important.

Barton has developed strong ideas to draw attention to the future by underscoring the importance of energy conservation and patent law reform.

His ideas can contribute to Ohio’s growth today to help make it tomorrow’s leader.
