Sojourner’s Truth Staff
Former Toledo Mayor Paula
Hicks-Hudson is back in the campaign spotlight again. On
Wednesday, March 14, the candidate for the Ohio House
District 44, opened her campaign with a fundraiser at
Michael’s Bar & Grill in downtown Toledo. Hicks-Hudson is
running for the Democratic Party nomination for the seat now
held by State Rep. Michael Ashford who is term-limited from
running again. Ashford is the endorsed Lucas County
Democratic Party candidate for the Ohio State Senate seat
held by Sen. Edna Brown, who is also term-limited from
seeking another term.
Hick-s Hudson will be
running against Robert Worthington in the May 8 primary and
against Republican candidate Kenneth Cousino in November
should she prevail in the primary. She said that she will be
working on issues of concern for those in District 44
including business, labor, families, retirees and those
involved in education.
Hicks-Hudson, an attorney,
was a city councilwoman and president of City Council, when
she was appointed to mayor in February 2015 following the
death of then Mayor D. Michael Collins. She won election to
the post in November 2015 in a special election but lost her
bid for re-election in November 2017 to Mayor Wade
Kapszukiewicz.
