Yay Soror Fudge!! She still has to run for the 09-10 term on the 4th, as well as the general election to finish out the time left on the current term. She has a Facebook supporter page, so if you are on Facebook, please join!

It's a done deal - there is no real competition. Hasn't been for that position since Stephanie first ran.

Warrensville Heights Mayor Marcia Fudge was overwhelmingly selected to fill the eastern Cuyahoga County congressional seat left open by the sudden death in August of her friend Stephanie Tubbs Jones.

For Fudge, a Democrat who defeated Republican businessman Thomas Pekarek in the heavily Democratic 11th District, the victory was bittersweet because of the loss of Tubbs Jones. But "I know that she's smiling and happy," Fudge said as she celebrated Tuesday night at the Laborers Local 310 hall in Cleveland. "I want to make her proud and her legacy something that we'll never forget."

I am truly happy for Soror Fudge and for our nation. Now we must steadfastly support our elected officials even if things happen that we do not agree with!
