On the GOP’s radar

In 2008, Cong. Mary Jo Kilroy broke the 40-year Republican stronghold on Ohio’s 15th district, defeating anti-choice former state Sen. Steve Stivers by just 2,312 votes in a recount. A right-wing darling, Stivers is running again, and House Minority Leader John Boehner is ginning up the GOP’s nasty attack machine on his behalf.

A courageous advocate for Ohioans

Among her first term accomplishments, Kilroy’s constituents have been profoundly affected by the economic downturn -- leading her to pressure a reluctant AIG subsidiary to restructure subprime mortgages and her vote for landmark environmental legislation that will bring clean energy jobs to Ohio.

A right-wing opponent with deep-pocketed friends

A former banking lobbyist, Stivers can tap special interests to raise millions for his campaign. Stivers is moving to the right and was just given a “preferred” rating from the Ohio Right to Life. Kilroy needs immediate support from EMILY’s List to win this costly and vicious rematch.
