Governor Ted Strickland

"Lee Fisher is one of Ohio's great leaders. He's a man of deep integrity and keen judgment. He has a remarkable record of public service ranging from the Ohio House and Senate to Attorney General and as the Democratic standard bearer in 1998. His remarkable career has spanned the private, public and nonprofit sectors."

Congressman John Boccieri

"I know that, as our next U.S. Senator, Lee will be a leader on behalf of all Ohioans. Lee will work tirelessly to bring new economic development to our state, which has been devastated by bad trade policies supported by Rob Portman under the Bush Administration."

Congressman Tim Ryan

“Lee has always been a tireless advocate for the hardworking families of Northeast Ohio and we need him as our partner in the U.S. Senate. With Lee in the Senate, we’ll have a fighter in our corner working from sunup to sundown to create jobs, fix our broken health care system, and make Ohio the hub of clean energy production. The Mahoning Valley knows painfully well what Rob Portman's trade and economic policies have done to our communities — we simply can't afford to return to the disastrous policies of the Bush Administration."

Congressman Zack Space

"My primary focus, as Congressman from the 18th Congressional District, is to make sure that my rural constituents have the same opportunities as those in urban areas. It could not be more important to have a leader in the U.S. Senate who will bring about those opportunities. Ohio needs a leader who will fight tirelessly to create and retain jobs, strengthen our towns and communities and find every opportunity to improve the lives of our residents. I believe that Lee Fisher is that leader"

Congressman Charlie Wilson

"Lee Fisher has been there for the people in my district during these tough economic times, no matter how small the project. Lee has led economic development efforts throughout Appalachia, and I know he will wake up every day as our next Senator focused on creating jobs for Ohioans and working to rebuild our economy."

Columbus Mayor Mike Coleman

“Lee Fisher is exactly the kind of leader Ohio needs in the U.S. Senate. I have known Lee for many years, and I’ve seen his leadership on key development projects. From the J.P. Morgan Chase expansion to the TechSouth development at the former Techneglas site, Lee has been critical in helping Columbus grow into the dynamic city it is today and will be in the future. Lee will put Ohio jobs and Ohio families first, and no one will work harder to bring new economic growth to our state. We simply cannot go back to the failed economic and trade policies of Rob Portman and George W. Bush that led us into this financial mess. With Lee in the Senate, we can work to repair the damage done to our economy and make Ohio a national leader in clean energy jobs."

Springfield Mayor Warren Copeland

"Lee has worked tirelessly to save jobs in the Miami Valley and bring new economic development to Southwest Ohio. We can count on him to deliver for us in the U.S. Senate."

Riverside Mayor Johnnie Doan

Former Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner

Hubert Heights Mayor Ronald A. Fisher

Warrensville Heights Mayor Clinton Hall

"I'm with Lee Fisher because I believe he is the candidate who will give 100%. Our economy is struggling right now -- we need somebody like Lee Fisher in the job who can bring jobs back to Ohio."

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson

Hubbard Mayor Arthur Magee

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory

"Lee has spent his career fighting for hard-working families, and he will be a champion for them in the Senate. No one is more focused on keeping good-paying jobs in Ohio and creating new economic opportunities for our state. Lee’s ability to bring everyone to the table to solve problems will serve him well as he works to make Ohio the hub of the clean energy industry, reform our broken health care system and ensure every child has the opportunity to receive a world-class education."

Former Dayton Mayor Rhine McLin

"Lee has been at the forefront of economic development in Montgomery County, and has been instrumental in attracting new businesses to our area and keeping good-paying jobs here. We simply cannot afford to go back to the failed policies of the past that rewarded companies for shipping jobs overseas and overlooked the importance of investing in our cities and workers right here at home. Lee will bring a fresh vision to Washington focused on making Ohio the hub of the clean energy industry and ensuring that we stop trade policies that export jobs instead of Ohio products."

East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton

"I'm with Lee because Lee has been on the ground for several decades fighting for working class and middle class families here in the area. And as a city mayor, when we needed help, Lee Fisher brought to East Cleveland funds to help us revitalize vacant and abandoned houses that have plagued our city and plagued our families. I know that if Lee Fisher is elected senator, he will not only do what he did for East Cleveland, he can do it throughout the state of Ohio."

Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic

"Lee has led the state's efforts to bring jobs and economic development to Akron and Summit County. He was instrumental in saving thousands of jobs at Goodyear and Bridgestone/Firestone, and I know he will fight just as hard to create new jobs across Ohio as our next Senator."

Warren Mayor Michael O'Brien

"There is no one I trust more to fight for our hard-working families in the U.S. Senate. Lee will focus on bringing good-paying jobs to the Valley and providing access to quality, affordable health care for all of our people, so that none of our families will have to worry about going bankrupt if a loved one gets sick."

Wilmington Mayor David Raizk

Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams

Ohio Legislative Black Caucus

“We’ve seen firsthand Lee’s track record fighting for Ohio jobs and attracting new investment to our communities. While Rob Portman was a chief architect of the Bush economy that led us into this economic mess, Lee has spent his career standing up for Ohio’s hard working families. Lee will fight to bring jobs and economic growth back to Ohio and help repair the damage done to our economy by Portman and Bush."
--State Representative Sandra Williams, OLBC President.

Senator Sue Morano (District 13 — Lorain)

"Lee Fisher is a tireless advocate for Ohio's working families--from fighting to create new jobs to passing legislation to keep our children safe, his depth of experience makes him uniquely qualified to be our next Senator. No one will work harder than Lee to improve the lives of Ohioans"

Senator Fred Strahorn (District 5 — Dayton)

"Ohio's hard-working families need an advocate in Washington D.C. who will look out for their best interests and work to improve their quality of life and I am absolutely confident that the right person for that job is Lee Fisher. With Lee in the U.S. Senate, Ohio will finally have two senators committed to ensuring that our state becomes a clean energy pioneer, bringing thousands of new jobs and revitalizing our economy."

Senator Nina Turner (District 25 — Cleveland)

"Ohio needs a Senator who can take on the tough fights in Washington, and Lee Fisher has a proven record of delivering results. He'll be a champion for quality, affordable health care for every American and support clean energy investments to bring new jobs to Ohio."

"Lee Fisher is the talented leader we need in our next U.S. Senator. He is committed to addressing the foreclosure crisis, ending tax breaks for companies that ship Ohio jobs overseas, and investing in clean energy so that Ohio’s workers are able to transition into the jobs of tomorrow."

Lucas County Engineer Keith Earley

Lucas County Commission President Pete Gerken

"We have seen too many Ohio jobs shipped overseas because of the failed economic and trade policies of the Bush-Portman Administration. Lee Fisher is determined to strengthen Ohio’s manufacturing industry by ending tax breaks for companies that outsource and providing incentives for American companies to transition to clean, green energy that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and combat global warming."

Montogmery County Prosecutor Mat Heck

East Cleveland Councilwoman Chantelle C. Lewis

Toledo City Council President Joe McNamara

Lucas County Recorder Jeanine Perry

Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune

“For over 15 years, I’ve worked to attract jobs in our part of Ohio, and we deserve a U.S. Senator with the experience to lead this important work in Washington, D.C. Lee Fisher has what it takes to be a voice for all Ohioans, including those in Southwest Ohio, to fight for new jobs, affordable health care and world-class schools. Lee has proven himself to be the kind of extraordinary leader who solves problems and brings people together under the most challenging of circumstances.  Ohio and America need proven leadership in these challenging times.”

Summit County Executive Russ Pry

"Northeast Ohio has been hit hard by the economic crisis. It’s going to take a leader with Lee's tenacity and vision to lead the fight to rebuild our economy and Ohio's middle class. Lee is committed to making Ohio the hub of the clean energy industry to create new jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and we can count on him to fight for Ohio families in the Senate."

Lucas County Clerk of Courts Bernie Quilter

Akron City Council President Marco Sommerville

“Lee has been fighting for Ohio families for 30 years. If you want to know what he’ll do in the Senate, look at what he’s already accomplished. From passing hate crimes legislation as a state legislator to cracking down on drug houses as Attorney General to improving the lives of at-risk children in Cleveland as the head of the Center for Families and Children, Lee has walked the walk on behalf of the people of Ohio."

Lucas County Commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak
