Dear David,

I am writing to express my disappointment in the destructive language you have reportedly used in recent days.
As you know, I was contacted by the Chairmen of the Clermont and Hamilton County Democratic Parties. I
echo their firm belief that such behavior is not welcome and does not reflect our Party’s philosophy.

America and Ohio have come too far over the years to allow your comments about your opponent to go
unchallenged. The Democratic Party has been at the forefront of this progress, and we are a Party that proudly
values diversity and inclusiveness. Your words fall short of these ideals.

Moreover, your comments about public sector unions ignore the tremendous contributions that unions have
made to the countless Ohio families they represent.

Ohioans and residents of the 2nd Congressional District are already incredibly disappointed by Congresswoman
Jean Schmidt’s divisive rhetoric. They don’t need similar rhetoric from a Democratic candidate who hopes to
replace her.

Sincerely,

Chris Redfern
Chairman
Ohio Democratic Party
