CLEVELAND, OHIO – U.S. Congressional Candidates Nina Turner and Shontel Brown, the front runners in the heated race in Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district to replace former 12-year congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, a former president of the Congressional Black Caucus who vacated her powerful congressional seat in early March to join President Biden's administration as the U.S. secretary of housing and urban development, are both hosting election night watch parties the evening of Tuesday's special Aug. 3 Democratic primary.

A resident and former council woman of Cleveland Ward 1, which has the highest Black voting bloc in the city of any of the 17 wards, Turner is a former Ohio senator and a former surrogate for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders who co-chaired his campaign for president last year, and Brown, a Fudge ally, is a Cuyahoga County Councilwoman and chair of the county Democratic party, the first Black and first woman to hold the volunteer post.

According to the county board of elections, polls open at 6:30 am and close at 7:30 pm with early voting, which began July 7, ending Monday at 2 pm.

Per press releases from the two campaigns, Brown's open-to-the public election night watch party begins at 7 pm on Tuesday at the Touch of Italy on Aurora Road in Bedford Hts and Turner's watch party, which is also open-to-public, will begin at 7 pm at the Lanes Bowling Alley on Southgate Park Boulevard in Maple Hts.

Both Maple Hts and Bedford Hts are largely Black Cleveland suburbs

One of two of Ohio's congressional districts crafted under the redistricting provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1965, Ohio's 11th congressional district includes most of Cleveland and its eastern suburbs of Cuyahoga County and a majority Black pocket of Akron and staggering sections of Akron's Summit County suburbs. The winner of the crowded 13-person Democratic primary race will face the Republican primary winner for a Nov. 2 general election, either Republican Laverne Jones Gore, who lost by a large margin to Fudge last November in the general election, or Felicia Washington Ross.

Both Cleveland and Cuyahoga County are Democratic strongholds run primarily by Democrats and the winner of Tuesday's Democratic primary is likely the next congress person. That winner will serve out the remainder of Fudge's unexpired two-year congressional term.

The multi-million dollar congressional race has put Cleveland on the political map and has drawn big money and big players to Northeast Ohio, particularly during the weeks leading up to the special primary election, including U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez of New York and former NAACP President and prior Democratic gubernatorial nominee Ben Jealous of Maryland, also a former president of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a prominent organization of Black newspaper publishers.

Jealous and Ocasio-Cortez campaigned with Turner in the greater Cleveland area two weeks ago, followed by U.S. Sen Bernie Sanders, who appeared in Akron and led a get-out-the vote rally with Turner in Cleveland on Saturday with other big political names such U.S. Rep Cori Bush of Missouri, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, scholar and motivational speaker Dr. Cornel West, and local leaders, including Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, Cleveland Councilman Blaine Griffin, and state Rep Juanita Brent, a Cleveland Democrat.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina, the highest ranking Black in Congress, Rep Bennie Thompson of Mississippi and Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, a Columbus Democrat and currently the only Black in Congress from Ohio, joined Brown, a Warrensville Heights Democrat, for campaign events over the weekend in the Cleveland area, among others.

Other high profile Blacks on the ballot for the closely watched Democratic primary race for the congressional seat at issue are former Ohio senators Jeff Johnson and Shirley Smith, and former state representative John Barnes Jr.

President Biden under pressure from Congressional Democrats to extend expired eviction moratorium as the pandemic surges...Black and Latino renters remain more at risk for eviction, research shows....By editor Kathy Wray Coleman

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Joe Biden is under pressure from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and fellow Democrats as Pelosi and House Democratic leaders on Sunday demanded that the Biden administration extend the national eviction moratorium put in place a year and a half ago to keep people in their homes as the coronavirus pandemic continues to escalate.

Pelosi issued a written statement calling for immediate action by the Biden administration. It was also signed by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark, and Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat and the highest ranking Black in Congress.

Calling it a "moral imperative," House Democrats want the president to use his executive powers to extend the eviction moratorium that had been in place since March 2020 when the pandemic first hit the U.S. with a vengeance through Oct 18.

Some 3.6 million people are impacted by the moratorium that expired at midnight on Saturday, a disproportionate number of them Black.

Pelosi and House Financial Services Chair Maxine Waters led a failed effort on Friday evening to try to reach a solution after Waters, a seasoned Democrat out of California, introduced a bill to renew the eviction moratorium.

But she and Pelosi were at odds over whether the House vote on the last minute extension bill should be made public with Waters wanting the latter.

The measure failed in the House after Stoyer stepped in and called for a unanimous consent, which does not require a vote.

Residents could be put out on the streets as early as Monday morning, increasing pressure for lawmakers to intervene on their behalf.

Research continues to show that Blacks and Latinos are more likely to be suffering economically during the pandemic and remain at greater risk for evictions than their White counterparts. A report dubbed "The State of the Nation's Housing 2020" found that over half of Black and Hispanic renter households were cost burdened going into the pandemic, compared to 42 percent of Asian and white households.

Democratic lawmakers in particular say they were caught off guard when President Biden announced Thursday that the moratorium would simply expire and said his excuse that he would not extend the eviction measure because the Supreme Court would likely require legislative action for further extensions is the easy way out.

The more progressive House lawmakers, namely U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush, were furious and camped outside the Capitol with other Democrats in protest.

The youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Ocasio-Cortez, 31, said Democrats have a majority in the House and must act responsibly on behalf of their constituents, and Rep. Bush expressed dismay that her colleagues have not taken a more assertive approach to keeping people, many of them poor, Black and single mothers, in their homes as the delta variant continues to spread.

Congressional Republicans are aligned with the president in arguing that any further extensions of the eviction moratorium would require legislative action by Congress.

Also at issue are the rights of landlords during a pandemic, lawmakers say.

Cleveland Councilman Ken Johnson convicted on all 15 counts as other Black city council persons remain on edge and fear they might be next.... By editor Kathy Wray Coleman of Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com

CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM, AKRON, Ohio –Cleveland Ward 4 Councilman Kenneth Johnson, 75, was convicted of corruption and tax charges by a federal jury in Akron, Ohio on Friday following a two-week trial and faces at least 10 years in prison when he is sentenced on Oct 8. by U.S. District Court Judge John Adams.

The verdict has some members of the 17-member city council on edge, particularly Black council persons who fear that they might be next.

"While Ken's case may be more entwined, they could have targeted any of us," said a Black city council person on condition of anonymity.

Per Friday's jury verdict, Johnson is officially off council, an elected post he has held for 40 years.

Johnson’s longtime executive assistant, Garnell Jamison, 63, was also convicted, and on all 11 charges listed in his indictment. He faces more than five years in prison when Adams sentences him, also on Oct 8.

Both men are Black and both are free on bond.

After deliberating for four hours, the largely White jury found Johnson guilty of two counts of conspiracy to commit theft from a governmental program, five counts of tax violations, six counts of theft from a federal program, and separate counts of tampering with a witness and falsifying

records.

Both men are expected to appeal with John's attorney, Myron Watson, saying the discrepancies were mere honest mistakes and Jamison's attorney, David Doughten, basically saying the same thing.

A 15-count indictment against Johnson was unsealed earlier this year in district court and centered on his monthly expense account relative to city monies he got for his east side ward and federal monies earmarked for the non-profit Buckeye- Shaker Square communities he serves. He was arrested thereafter.

According to the indictment, Johnson demanded the maximum amount of $1,200 monthly for his ward from the city's coffers but could not prove how much of the money, which has allegedly been requested for several years, including in 2019, has been spent.

Prosecutors called a host of witnesses during the closely watched trial, including Johnson's adopted son, practically all of those who took the stand testifying that Johnson was shady, some saying he had them sign documents for money for work they never performed and blatantly put monies in his bank account in an arbitrary fashion.

Prosecutors also said at trial that John Hopkins, 57, the one-time director of the Buckeye-Shaker Square Development Corp who was also indicted and has since pleaded guilty to theft and conspiracy from a federal program, assisted Johnson in steering at least $100,000 to his adopted sons for work that did not perform regarding a landscaping project relative to the nonprofit.

Megan Miller, an assistant U.S. attorney, told jurors during closing arguments Thursday that Johnson is just simply a crook who took advantage of his constituents and utilized other crooks to secure undue monies on the city's dime.

Johnson’s former friend, Robert Fitzpatrick, a 35-year former city employee, was also among those indicted and pleaded guilty to conspiracy involving fraudulent expense reports the councilman filed with the city.

Both Hopkins and Fitzpatrick, once Johnson's ally, testified against the former councilman at trial.

Prosecutors accused Johnson of illegally adjusting his gross income on tax forms to attempt to justify the theft, sometimes as much as $137,000.

Also at issue was what prosecutors said was Johnson's mishandling of federal and state monies regarding the Kenneth Johnson Recreation Center on Woodland Avenue, which is named after the former councilman, and is one of several city recreation centers that Fitzpatrick oversaw.

Johnson took the stand and testified on his behalf in an attempt to rebut the damaging testimony brought forth by the prosecution and said he was shocked and hurt that those who were once close to him turned on him.

Johnson's four-year city council term was set to expire on Dec 31 and though he was suspended from office on April 20 by a three-judge panel of retired judges appointed to hear the matter by Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor and replaced with current councilwoman Marion Anita Gardner , who is not seeking election to the seat this year, he, by law, was still receiving his $88, 000 a year salary.

His supporters say the prosecution was politically motivated by Republicans and a series of allegedly racist articles by former Plain Dealer columnist and Cleveland.com reporter Mark Naymik, and that "White council persons do the same thing but are not indicted."

Others say Johnson has misused his office for years and that the verdict fits the crimes.

Naymik left Cleveland.com in 2019 and took a reporting job with WKYC Channel 3 News in Cleveland.

Johnson is on the ballot for the Ward Sept 14 non-partisan primary along with 10 other candidates seeking to become council person of that ward, and while state law precludes felons from holding office in Ohio, which some dispute, it seemingly does not preclude them from running for office.

It is unlikely, however, that he will continue to seek reelection, sources said Friday, and since his sentencing is set for Oct 8, it is likely that he will be in prison when the primary election comes around.

Ward 4 encompasses the Buckeye area near Shaker Square along the Shaker Heights border, and the Woodland Hills and Mount Pleasant neighborhoods.

Cleveland Mayor Jackson, a four-term Black mayor who is not seeking reelection this year and a Johnson ally, has not commented on Johnson's indictment, or his convictions on 15 counts, and City Council President Kevin Kelley, a mayoral candidate, was taking a wait and see approach, though he has been critical of Johnson.

Mayor Jackson and all of the city council, nearly half of its members Black, are Democrats.

Jackson is the city's third Black mayor.

The office of mayor and city council are all up for grabs this year with the top two winners of the primary competing in the Nov. 2 general election.

Nina Turner receives the endorsement of the National and Ohio Education Associations of teachers as the race for the congressional seat in Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district comes down to the wire....By editor Kathy Coleman

CLEVELAND, OHIO – The National Education Association (NEA), at the recommendation of the Ohio Education Association (OEA), on Friday announced its endorsement of U.S. Congressional Candidate Nina Turner through the NEA's political action committee, the NEA Fund.

The Ohio Education Association, the NEA's state-level arm, represents more than 120,000 teachers, faculty members, and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities.

The race to fill the open seat in Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district that became vacant when former congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge vacated the post in early March to join the cabinet of President Joe Biden as his secretary of Urban and Housing Development is down to the wire with the special Democratic primary, which is Aug, 3, drawing 13 Democratic candidates to the ballot.

The NEA Fund noted in its endorsement letter of Turner that it "supports candidates, regardless of political party affiliation, who have clearly demonstrated their commitment to children and public education."

Turner expressed gratitude for the endorsement.

"I am proud to receive the endorsement of the National Education Association," said Turner, a former Ohio senator and progressive Black Democrat who co-chaired last year's presidential campaign of Sen Bernie Sanders.

Sanders has endorsed Turner and is rallying with her in Cleveland this weekend along with a host of prominent local and national Democrats, including Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush, motivational speaker and scholar Dr. Cornel West, actor Danny Glover, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. "When I'm in Congress I will do everything possible to reverse the decades of under-investment and privatization that has weakened our public education system."

A former assistant professor at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland who taught history, Turner said that "our country must fully invest in the well-being of our students and teachers (from pre-k, elementary, high school, vocational training and college)."

Also a former Cleveland Ward 2 councilwoman, Turner and her campaign team are working to keep her closest opponent, Cuyahoga County Councilwoman and County Democratic Party Chairwoman Shontel Brown, from gaining ground in the multi-million dollar congressional race.

She has raised some $4.6 million, more money than any of her opponents.

The winner of the crowded Democratic primary in Ohio's 11th congressional district will face the Republican primary winner for a Nov. 2 general election.

Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district includes most of Cleveland and its eastern suburbs of Cuyahoga County and a majority Black pocket of Akron and staggering sections of Akron's Summit County suburbs.

Both Cleveland and Cuyahoga County are Democratic strongholds run primarily by Democrats.

CLEVELAND, Ohio- Faith leaders from greater Cleveland and Akron, along with U.S. Congressional Candidate Nina Turner, special guests actor Danny Glover and Dr. Cornel West, a scholar and motivational speaker, will gather for a a special interfaith community breakfast as the Aug. 3 special primary election for the open congressional seat in Ohio's 11th congressional district nears.

Breakfast will be served, buffet style, at 7:30 am with remarks at 8:00 am. The event is free and open to the public, though participants must R.S.V.P. at this link at Ninaturner.com and will, in turn, receive an almost immediate email with the date, time and place of the event.

"As election day nears, we want to use this opportunity to lift Nina Turner up and help inspire others to help us across the finish line," said Kara Turrentine, deputy campaign manager for the Turner campaign said Friday. "Your prayers, thoughts and devotions will help guide the campaign through the final hours."

The Interfaith breakfast event is one of a series of events in the Cleveland and Akron areas leading up to the special primary election on Tuesday.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will travel to Ohio and will join Turner at events in both Akron and Cleveland on Saturday while also headlining a get-out-the-vote rally on Saturday morning in Cleveland alongside other prominent national Democrats and local voices.

The GOTV rally will take place on Sat., July 31 at the Agora Theater on Euclid Avenue on Cleveland's largely Black east side and will feature Turner, U.S. Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Dr. West, and more, including local leaders such as Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and state Rep. Juanita Brent of Cleveland.

The rally, which will also feature musical artists and will include community activists, will begin at 11:30 am and will be followed by a 2 pm march to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections at East 29th Street and Euclid Avenue, the Turner campaign said in a press release Thursday. Doors open at 10:30 am.

Jackson is a four term Black mayor of Cleveland and a longtime Turner ally.

A Black Democrat and former Ohio senator who was Sanders' campaign surrogate and who co-chaired his presidential campaign for president last year, Turner 53, is the front runner among 13 candidates competing in an Aug 3 special Democratic primary election for the congressional seat vacated in early March by former congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, who is now the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a member of President Joe Biden's cabinet.

Turner and her campaign team are working to keep her closest opponent, Cuyahoga County Councilwoman and County Democratic Party Chair Shontel Brown, from gaining ground in the multi million dollar congressional race.

Turner has raised some $4.6 million, more money than any of her opponents.

The winner of the crowded Democratic primary in Ohio's 11th congressional district will face the Republican primary winner for a Nov. 2 general election.

CLEVELAND, OHIO – U.S. Congressional Candidate Nina Turner announced on Thursday that U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will travel to Ohio during the final week of the campaign and will join Turner at events in both Akron and Cleveland on Saturday while also headlining a get-out-the-vote rally on Saturday morning in Cleveland alongside other prominent national Democrats and local voices.

The GOTV rally will take place on Sat., July 31 at the Agora Theater on Euclid Avenue on Cleveland's largely Black east side and will feature Turner, U.S. Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Dr. Cornel West, and more, including local leaders such as Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and state Rep.

Fudge, who is now the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a member of President Joe Biden's cabinet.

A Democrat out of Vermont who, like Turner, supports progressive agendas, Sanders endorsed Nina Turner early in the race, citing her tireless advocacy for bold policies like Medicare for All, cancelling student debt, free public college, raising the minimum wage and holding big corporations accountable.

In his endorsement of Turner on Dec. 15, Sanders said she is best qualified to lead Ohio's 11th congressional district, which includes most of Cleveland and its eastern suburbs of Cuyahoga County, and a majority black pocket of Akron and staggering sections of Akron's Summit County suburbs.

"I've gotten to know Nina Turner over the last five years," said Sanders. "She deeply cares for working families and she has the heart to be an effective, unwavering fighter for them in Congress."

Turner shared her gratitude for Sanders' support.

"Senator Sanders sparked a movement that shifted what is possible in American politics. I am proud to be joined by Senator Sanders in my hometown of Cleveland," Turner said.

She added that Sanders "has shown that one can be a principled partner to the president in moving forward an agenda that centers on the poor, the working poor, and the barely middle class."

Turner has raised some $4.6 million, more money than any of her opponents.

The winner of the crowded Democratic primary in Ohio's 11th congressional district will face the Republican primary winner for a Nov. 2 general election.

Both Cleveland and Cuyahoga County are Democratic strongholds run primarily by Democrats.
