Republicans and Democrats Join to Serve Those Most in Need
From the Desk of Senate President Keith Faber: These days, most of what you hear and see about what is happening at the Statehouse in Columbus and in Washington, DC is focused on all of the disagreement, partisanship, and name-calling between our elected officials and political parties. But I want to draw your attention to a wonderful bipartisan volunteer effort that’s taking place at the Ohio Senate. Our staff, Republican and Democrat, has joined forces to create The Emma Project, a community service program to meet the needs of our fellow Ohioans. The Emma Project was named for a Columbus woman who provided lodging and a warm meal for travelers to the Ohio Statehouse back in the 1800s. Last week, as we remembered September 11th, The Emma Project participated in a National Day of Service. Staff members spent their day at the Gladden Community House in Franklinton, a neighborhood in Columbus, to hand out groceries and produce to residents of that community. Our communications staff created an emotional video that you should see:

Thank you to HandsOn Central Ohio, The Gladden Community House and the Mid-Ohio Food Bank for making this service project possible. Most importantly, I’m so proud of the staff at the Ohio Senate, Republican and Democrat, who take their responsibility to serve their fellow Ohioans beyond the walls of the Statehouse. Sincerely,
 Keith Faber
Let me know when you are done puking......
