Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com -HIGHLAND, Hills-Ohio 11th Congressional District Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, a Warrensville Heights Democrat who is one of two Blacks in congress from Ohio and whose largely Black congressional district includes most of the majority Black areas between Cleveland and Akron and several of Cleveland's eastern suburbs, will host a Town Hall on Saturday, Aug 3, 2019 beginning at 10 am at Tri-C Eastern campus in Highland Hills at 4250 Richmond Road.

Highland Hills is a largely Black  middle class village of Cuyahoga County that borders Cleveland.

The 11th congressional district event is free and open to the public.

Topics for the Town Hall include health care, voting rights and voting security, special counsel Robert Muller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that benefited President Donald Trump, college tuition rates  and the Green New Deal, which the House passed while the Senate rejected it thereafter, the proposed legislation an economic stimulus bill to reduce carbon emissions and tackle the twin crisis of inequality and climate change.

Fudge is expected to hesitantly endorse the Green New Deal at the community meeting, which is not immediately paramount to the federal lawmaker's concerns in an impoverished congressional district that is majority Black.

A former Warrensville Heights mayor, Fudge and Congresswoman Joyce Beatty of Columbus, also a Democrat, are the only Blacks in congress from Ohio.

After the Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives last year Fudge, also a former national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and a prior chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, toyed with opposing Rep. Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House but decided to rejoin Pelosi's team to fight against the right wing attack on the Democratic Party in congress, and elsewhere.

She called Pelosi a dynamic leader in her own right, though she, and nearly a third of congressional Democrats, including Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, a presidential candidate, want impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump and Pelosi has been hesitant saying they do not have the votes and the Democrats should focus instead on regaining the White House in 2020.
