Friend, I love summer in Toledo.

The annual Point Place / Shoreland parade
Getting a Hungarian dog at Tony Packo's, seeing a Mud Hens game on a warm summer night, eating ice cream with family — it reminds me of being a kid.
Growing up here in Toledo, we never had much money. My parents didn't have a college education, and my grandparents were Polish immigrants who came to this country with little more than what they could carry.
But they made a good life for us here, the same way so many Ohioans did: with hard work, perseverance, and the support of their community.
I've never stopped fighting for this little corner of Northern Ohio, friend, because it's my home too.
Thank you for being in that work with me.
