Tim Kettler . . . for Ohio . . . for District 20 . . . for you
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November, 2007 TIM KETTLER, ENDORSED AS GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE FOR OHIO SENATE DISTRICT 20 Ohio Green Party Coordinating Committee unanimously endorsed Tim Kettler for Ohio Senate District 20 in their November 18, 2007 conference. A lifelong Ohio resident, resides in the Warsaw, Ohio with his wife Roberta, and son Malcolm. Tim and Roberta own and operate Action Septic Service, a twenty-year established, environmentally directed service business. His blue collar, working class background and his rural lifestyle have made him aware of the needs of both of these constituencies. He is an advocate of new progressive policies to meet these needs. Tim currently serves as the secretary of the Green Party of Ohio, and is a co-founder and treasurer of his local, the East Central Ohio Green Party. He and his fellow greens have spent long hours bringing Green values to rural Ohio through their organizing efforts. As a self-employed
small businessman, Tim is acutely aware of the obstacles presented
by a failing health care system, regressive tax structures and
increasing pressure from corporate influence. He is a representative
on the
Single Payer Action Network of Ohio state council, a
non-partisan organization that advocates for the establishment of
single-payer, universal health care for the citizen’s of Ohio. He is
active in circulating petitions for The Health Care for All Ohioans
Act ballot initiative. His experience working through the burdensome
obstacles that this process presents has convinced him of the need
for reform if this tool of grassroots democracy is to be viable.
