Action

President Alicia Reece (D-Cincinnati) released the following
statement this week in response to the passing of long-time
political strategist Arnold Pinkney:
"Today we lost one of Ohio’s most influential political
strategists, business pioneers and public servants, Arnold
Pinkney. His influence in politics and community service
stretched far beyond his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Arnold
Pinkney was as a special advisor to the Ohio Legislative
Black Caucus and an advocate for minority businesses, voting
rights and equal opportunity for African Americans. We will
continue to fight for these issues in honor of his legacy.”
