Ohio sits at the nexus of the balance of power in the United States. Cuyahoga County’s 1,007,583 registered voters (of 1.3 million residents) will play a key role in determining the outcome of this election. Sadly, only 40% of eligible voters are expected to turn out. Still, margins of victory have been razor thin in recent elections, confirming the adage that “every vote counts.” The choices Ohio voters face in next week’s Tue 11/7 election couldn’t be starker: most major candidates disagree sharply on almost everything. And the mood of voters is certainly one of dissatisfaction. View the video interview with term-limited Republican State Rep. Jim Trakas, a strong Issue 18 supporter, as he discusses some of the broader political issues our region faces. Watch the BizTech video of our interview with Jamie Ireland, who runs Early Stage Partners and serves as President of the board of the triumphal Cleveland Orchestra.

The whole country is counting on you. –Thomas Mulready
Issue 18 Profile
Jim Trakas
State Representative District 17
Jim Trakas is that rarity: a Republican in Cuyahoga County. He represents District 17 in the Ohio House: Mayfield Heights, Lyndhurst, Pepper Pike, Hunting Valley, Chagrin Falls, Solon, Brecksville, Broadview Hts, and his home town of Independence. As they stood at the 2nd most trafficked intersection in the county, at the corner of Rockside Rd. and Rt. 21, Cool Cleveland’s Thomas Mulready and term-limited Jim Trakas discussed why some people in his district think our current (unconstitutional) school funding is OK, why the current national and statewide “Republican Valhalla” isn’t a bad thing, and how he’s joined in a bipartisan effort to support the passage of Issue 18 for arts and culture. http://www.Issue18.org
