Lang Fights for Working Families in Race Against Incumbent Stivers

COLUMBUS -- Working men and women in Central and Southern Ohio's 15th District are standing behind Pat Lang because he'll stand up for them in Washington. Lang thanked the Ohio AFL-CIO for its endorsement as the pace picked up in his race against incumbent Congressman Steve Stivers. There are 111 days to go before Election Day.

A recent poll showed that only 38 percent of voters want to see Stivers re-elected and only 31 percent approve of the job that he's doing.

Voters eager for change; Stivers unknown in district
June 25, 2012

Raleigh, N.C. – Republican incumbent Congressman Steve Stivers is mostly unknown in his own congressional district—41% of Ohio-15 voters are not sure of their opinion of Stivers.

40% of OH-15 voters are also unsure of their opinion of the congressman’s job performance in his first term.

UAPA got its start in 2004 as UA for Kerry, and it was at the Upper Arlington parade that year when the majority of the good citizens of our fair city learned of our existence -- some happily, some not. Come park your folding chair on the lawn where it all started at the home of John and Jane Hastie, located on the corner of Brandon Road and Northwest Boulevard.

A recent Public Policy Poll shows that the 15th Congressional District, of which Upper Arlington is a part, is ready for a change in representation.  This poll finds that 63% of voters in the district do not support or are unsure if Steve Stivers should be reelected.  The poll indicates that Pat Lang, the Democratic candidate, does extremely well with young voters and with independents.
