Released: Jul 19, 2005 1:22 PM

Candidate for United States Congress of Ohio's 2nd District

BURLINGTON, VT -- Today, Democracy for America (DFA) endorsed Paul Hackett for the United States Congress in the 2nd District of Ohio -- making him the newest member of the DFA-List, Candidates for America.

"Paul Hackett is dedicated to bringing fiscal responsibility and progressive values back to the people of Ohio," said Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America. "His record of leadership and experience both at home and abroad is exactly what Ohio needs, and what our nation's capital needs. We are proud to add him to the DFA-List."

Paul Hackett knows what's at stake for all Americans. As a retired major in the United States Marine Corp, he volunteered for duty in Iraq. An opponent of the war from the beginning, Paul answered the call to service because he knows that America needs leaders who don't shy from adversity. Now, he is running for Congress to promote small business growth, sustainable environmental policy and fiscal responsibility. If elected, he will be the first member of Congress to have served in the war in Iraq. The special election is August 2, 2005.
