Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

I am well prepared for the challenges of this position with my experience in journalism and public affairs, highlighted by service for Bill Bradley in the U.S. Senate and coverage of the President and Congress at United Press International in Washington, D.C. Since then, I have directed television news operations for an ABC-TV affiliate and held management positions at newspapers in California and Ohio. I also have had extensive education, graduating from Miami University in Oxford and then earning two Masters degrees at Columbia and Johns Hopkins universities. Since coming here, I have been active in Democratic politics. Along the way, I helped the late Bill Bowen when he was in the Ohio State Senate and former Gov. John Gilliigan in his campaign for re-election to the Cincinnati School Board last fall.
