RELEASE: Widener Announces 20,000 Doors in 20 Weeks

This just in...

SPRINGFIELD, OH (06/05/08) - Chris Widener, candidate for Ohio's 10th Senate District, today announced a grassroots program aimed at knocking on 20,000 doors over the next 20 weeks.

"As state representative I've always made constituent concerns my top priority," said Widener. "As state senator I will continue to fight for the people I represent. The best way to identify the concerns of the residents of the 10th Senate District is to visit voters at their front doors."

Widener is a licensed architect and has owned his own firm for more than 18 years. Prior to starting his own business he was the first full-time Historic Preservation Officer at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and served as a civil service architect.

Widener currently represents Madison County and portions of Clark and Greene Counties in his fourth term as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. As a legislator, he worked to cut personal income taxes by 21 percent, provided much needed prescription drug coverage for 1.4 million Ohio seniors without any additional costs to taxpayers and helped pass a state budget with the lowest growth in spending in nearly half a century.
