Dear Representative Szollosi:

We are proud to inform you that the Ohio Federation of Teachers’ Committee on Political Education (OFT COPE) has endorsed you for your state legislative race.

OFT COPE endorsements are based on candidates’ support for public education, including higher education, human services, public employees and collective bargaining rights.  We believe you can make a difference in funding for K-12 public education, holding charter schools accountable, stopping the spread of tax-funded tuition vouchers, restoring higher education funding, and extending collective bargaining rights for part-time faculty and graduate employees.

“House District 49 ranks as one of the most diverse in Ohio, from the strong agricultural component to the east, the heavy industry and blue-collar areas in Oregon and North Toledo, the wonderful small business community in the Point Place and Shoreland areas, to the regionally renowned commercial/retail area in the western part of the district. I am proud to have the opportunity to run for this seat, and I pledge to represent the interests of District 49 in Columbus honestly, and to the very best of my ability.” 

- Matt Szollosi

 

Thank You
