RELEASE: Women Leaders to Stump for Conservative Republican Jeanette Moll

This just in...

ZANESVILLE, OHIO 2/25/08 - Conservative Republican Jeanette Moll will receive an infusion of support from a couple Ohio political leaders this week.

Former State Senator Grace Drake and current Senator Joy Padgett will headline an event for Moll on Saturday, March 1 in Zanesville.

Drake served in the Ohio Senate from 1984-2000 and currently serves as Director of the Ohio Center for the Advancement of Women in Public Service.

Padgett currently serves as State Senator that covers Coshocton, Muskingum, Guernsey, Morgan and Athens counties in the 18th Congressional District.

Drake said she's glad to support Jeanette Moll for all the right reasons.

"I have a keen interest in seeing women get involved in public service," Drake said. "But Jeanette is a special case - she's a conservative Republican which makes her a uniquely qualified candidate for the people of eastern and southeastern Ohio who overwhelmingly share her values."

Jeanette Moll is running on a conservative platform of pro-life, pro-gun, pro-traditional marriage values; and also a fiscal platform of job creation and lowering both taxes and spending.

Moll said she was pleased to have the support of Republicans throughout the area.

"As a participant of the Jo Ann Davidson Leadership Institute I have learned much about being a female seeking to become more active in public service," Moll said. "Most important, though, is that I share the conservative values of this district - that is the reason I have built a large grassroots campaign team."

The event with former Senator Drake and Senator Padgett will be held at Schultz Manson in Zanesville on March 1 from 1pm-3pm. A minimum donation of $25 is requested.

Jeanette Moll is a practicing attorney and former Magistrate in Guernsey County, Ohio. She helped found the Washington, D.C. office of Ducks Unlimited before moving back to Ohio to attend law school and raise her family. Wife and mother of two daughters and adoptive mother of three children adopted through Muskingum County Children's Services, Moll has focused much of her life on family, faith and community.

Side note: I should have some important news from Team Phillips, her opponent in the primary that matters, at some point...maybe tonight, possibly tomorrow...
