Ohio senator says goodbye

State Senator Sue Morano (D-Lorain) released the following letter today to thank her constituents for the opportunity to serve in the Ohio Senate:

“To The Residents of the 13th State Senate District:

‘I would like to thank the people of this district for the opportunity to serve as your Senator for the past four years. When you elected me in 2006, I made a promise to represent everyday families and I believe I have fulfilled that promise.’

‘In my term as State Senator, I have been able to help many families gain access to needed services and information. My office in Columbus has provided guidance to those trying to navigate the unemployment system, obtain help with home heating problems, and a multitude of other issues.’

‘In addition to helping constituents, I worked diligently to protect our environment with the Great Lakes Compact and supported our agriculture community by advocating for the Ohio Livestock Care Board. I also worked closely with local business leaders to keep jobs in our area, and I’m proud of what we were able to accomplish even amidst a global recession.’

‘I have introduced and voted on legislation that will make Ohio a better, safer place to work and live and to make sure that the most vulnerable among us are properly taken care of.’

‘It has been my honor to take the values, beliefs, and hopes of the 13th District with me to Columbus. My roots run very deep in this community and I am truly grateful for all the support I have received.’

‘We all know that tough times lie ahead for this state and this District. I wish my successor the best of luck, and I want you all to know that I will continue working to improve the lives of working families in Ohio.’

Thank you,

Senator Sue Morano

13th State Senate District
