OH-16: Ohio Daily Blog Interviews Congressional Candidate John Boccieri

Yesterday it was my pleasure and privilege to interview state senator and recently-declared congressional candidate John Boccieri (D-New Middletown), who is running for the seat of Rep. Ralph Regula (R-Navarre) in the 16th Ohio Congressional District. Boccieri is a Major in the Air Force Reserve who served four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, flying C-130 aircraft. He explained to me what inspired him to enter politics and what motivates him today, why he decided to run for Congress now, his suitability to represent the 16th District, his interests and accomplishments in the state legislature, and the issues that he will emphasize in his campaign for Congress.

The interview is posted on the ODB State page, so click on through!
