GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio– Garfield Heights Councilman Michael Dudley Sr. on Wednesday released a video emphasizing his support for U.S. congressional candidate Nina Turner.
Dudley says he reiterates that he never endorsed any other candidate and strongly supports Turner.
Turner is one of 13 candidates running in the Democratic primary relative to a special election to replace former Ohio 11th congressional district congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, who is now the U.S. secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
The winners of the Democratic and Republican primaries, which are Aug 3, will square-off for the Nov 2 general election.
In the video at issue Dudley, councilman for Garfield Heights Ward 1, says Turner is the proven leader with the record and vision to support his constituents in Garfield Heights and and those in Ohio's 11th congressional district in general.
"Nina Turner has always been a fighter for our community. She has fought the battles that others were not willing to fight," said Dudley. "We've got to understand that she's the best representation for Greater Cleveland all the way down to the greater Akron area. This is not the place for on the job training. The person we send down to Congress has to be ready to step in and do the job from day one. And there's no better candidate to do that job than Nina Turner."
Turner expressed her gratitude for the endorsement,
"I am grateful for the support of Councilman Dudley and appreciate his willingness to step forward," said Turner.
Ohio's largely Black 11th congressional district includes most of Cleveland, mainly its majority black east side, and several of its eastern suburbs of Cuyahoga County, and a largely Black pocket of Akron and staggering suburbs of Akron's Summit county suburbS.
Additionally, Councilman Dudley will be joining Turner in get-out-the-vote efforts, hosting a canvass alongside with her in Garfield Heights on July 15.
