OH-15: Paula Brooks is Out

I'm getting highly reliable reports that this morning Franklin County Commissioner Paula Brooks announced her intention not to make a formal bid for Congress in the OH-15 race. Apparently Commissioner Brooks called Commissioner Kilroy and informed her of the news first. 

With this development Democrats will be able to protect their seats on the Board of Commissioners, and make a serious bid for Deborah Pryce's seat.

Democrats in Ohio owe Commissioner Brooks a debt of thanks for making this decision early in the primary. We all need to be ready to support Mary Jo Kilroy as she becomes Ohio's next Democratic Congresswoman.
