BOE races are non-partisan and so is HOPE. Our recommendation below is for District 5 for the Nov 4, 2008 election.
District 5 comprises Geauga, Holmes, Lake, Medina and Wayne counties and portions of Ashland and Cuyahoga counties..
Robin Hovis
Robin C. Hovis is an investment representative for Edward Jones Investments in Millersburg. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture from The Ohio State University with a major in agriculture education and also has completed graduate work in agriculture at OSU.
Mr. Hovis has long been the strongest voice on the State Board advocating for excellence in science education. HOPE is pleased to support him, and has no doubt he will continue to be an outstanding public servant with an excellent record of supporting top notch public education and strong science education programs.
Remember, most Ohio taxpayers can get a taxCREDIT of $50 ($100 for married filing jointly) when you donate to state Board of Ed candidates.
Check with your tax advisor to see if you are eligible!
