Title: Ohio State Senate District 33: Boccieri vs. Rulli
Post by: Penguin388 on October 08, 2018, 01:48:03 PM
Does anyone have a strong opinion outside of the political party affiliation of these two candidates on who would be better?  I'm not sure who to vote for.

I attended a candidates' forum this evening.  It was stated that Mr. Rulli has not attended any of these forums although he was invited to speak.

I don't know too much about Rulli yet but I don't think Boccieri is so great.

I've heard several Boccieri commercials. He loves to use the words fight and fought but offers no details.

"After seven rotations in the middle east he continues to fight for us." If a fight stays the same, it continues, if it's a new fight, it hasn't continued.

"He fought to bring back good paying local jobs and he fought to make small businesses stronger."  It would be nice if he gave us an example or two. More would be even more impressive.

I've also heard he voted down the state holding back money to cities that use traffic cameras on interstates. The whole camera thing has been used as a money grab by local governments and has nothing to do with safety. Pulling someone over not only gets some money out of their pocket for breaking the law, it also stops them from breaking it. The people in the pictures won't even slow down until they get their mail a couple of weeks later yet he thinks the cities should still get more of the driver's and taxpayer's money. Basically the state was fighting for the citizens and he fought to defend the cities against the citizens on this one.

I attended the League of Women Voters political forum in which John boccieri and Mike rulli were invited to speak to the membership. John boccieri was the only one that showed up at this form. Mike Rulli sent Tracy Winbush as a surrogate to speak on his behalf. This was a political suicide decision. Winbush put her own opinions with rulli''s opinions confusing the voter on on issues of Education environment and Healthcare. I decided to vote for a third-party candidate instead of the two major political parties candidates.

Who is the third party candidate?

What are the goals they seek to achieve for this area?

Why weren't they invited to the League of Women Voters political forum?

You should ask the League of Women Voters for the answer for the third question. The first two I have to go to the Board of Elections to find out who's is running on third parties' tickets.

Is there an eligible third party candidate in this November 2018 election?  I went here (https://ballotpedia.org/Ohio_State_Senate_District_33), but could not find one.
