State Rep. Brigid Kelly (D-Cincinnati) was elected as
assistant whip to round out the four-person House Democratic
leadership team.
“I am honored to play a bigger role in advancing our caucus’
pro-job and pro-worker priorities into 2018 and beyond,”
said Kelly. “It’s a great feeling to be a part of a caucus
and team who puts working families first.”
Kelly, a freshman lawmaker from the Cincinnati area, brings
experience as a local elected official and representative
for members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union
(UFCW) to the caucus’ leadership team.
“After years of slow growth, drug addiction and limited
opportunity, it is important to the people we represent that
we head into 2018 with an intense focus and drive to get our
state back on track,” said Leader Strahorn. “Having the
right people in place at the right time means we’re closer
to the day when all Ohioans feel they have an equal
opportunity to get ahead.”
The full Democratic leadership team is as follows:
•
Leader
Fred Strahorn (Dayton)
• Assistant Leader Nicholas J. Celebrezze (Parma)
• Whip Emilia Strong Sykes (Akron)
• Assistant Whip Brigid Kelly (Norwood)
