Team,

Sharetta Smith is a 5th generation Lima resident whose family moved to the city nearly 80 years ago to work in the Steel Mills. The daughter of two former union members, she grew up surrounded by a community of hard-working, caring people who, despite tough times, always believed that better days were ahead.

Now, Sharetta is running for Mayor of Lima, instilled with the values her family taught her that will help her lead the city forward. And we need Sharetta's leadership in Lima. But she'll have a tough race. Big name Ohio Republicans are supporting her opponent, so we need to do whatever we can to help her fight back.

If you're ready, you can split a donation of $10 or more between Sharetta's campaign and the Ohio Democratic Party to help ensure she has the resources she needs to win in November.

Sharetta has more than a decade of experience working in local government. She served as Assistant District Public Defender representing hundreds of clients who could not afford a private attorney, and most recently, she's been working as Chief of Staff for Lima Mayor David Berger.

As Mayor Berger's Chief of Staff, Sharetta advises the mayor, supports Lima's 38,000 citizens, and oversees the city's operating budget. Now, she's ready to take the next step and continue to serve the people of Lima.

We can help Sharetta win in November, but only if we work together. Split a donation between Sharetta's campaign and the Ohio Democratic Party today. Your donation helps us build the infrastructure to spread Sharetta's message throughout the city.

Thank you,

Team ODP
