Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) visited Athens Sunday as part of a get-out-the-vote campaign for the Aug. 3 primary in Ohio s 15th Congressional District.
Russo is one of two Democrats seeking the party s nomination to fill the seat vacated in May when former Rep. Steve Stivers resigned to lead the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. She appeared on the steps of the Athens County Courthouse with local leaders, who have endorsed her over competitor Greg Betts, a retired U.S. Army colonel from Youngstown.
âI feel very good that they feel I am going to be a very strong advocate for this community and for the needs of this community going to Washington,â Russo said.
