Brunner Gets A Little Help From Caroline Kennedy

While Lee Fisher may have a lot of high profile endorsements, don’t count Brunner out of that game just yet. Last week she was in New York, where Caroline Kennedy hosted a fundraiser supporting Brunner’s Senate run.

"After the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation awarded Jennifer Brunner a Profile in Courage Award last year, I watched as she stood up for Ohio voters and reformed Ohio's election system.  The whole country would benefit from Jennifer's approach to public service, and that's why I am supporting her for the U.S. Senate."

-- Caroline Kennedy

This was the first time Caroline Kennedy hosted a fundraiser for someone who wasn’t a member of her family.

Brunner also scored a pretty big early endorsement late last week. The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), the largest private sector union, rolled out several coordinated endorsements from major halls all around the state.
