The Ohio Early Care and Education Campaign, in conjunction with many local sponsors are sponsoring a Legislative Candidates Forums in Northwest, Southwest and Southeast Ohio.

Our goal is improve opportunities for young children which can be accomplished by electing Legislators who are committed to supporting young children. You can make this happen by becoming an informed voter.

"Ohio faces critical decisions in 2006-2007. This year we will elect a new governor and many new legislators who will determine Ohio's financial priorities through 2009.

Hear what Ohio's candidates for the House and Senate have to say about our youngest citizens wnd what tools families need to help their children. This is you r chance to ask candidates about children's issues - including health, mental health, kindergarten, preschool, child care, Head Start or any other issue that is important to children."
