Wilmington Area Families

The news that DHL may be eliminating thousands of jobs in Ohio is a call to action. I have dedicated a staff member to this issue and she will be in constant contact with the Governor’s office, community leaders, and the workers in Wilmington. We need to fight for the workers at the Wilmington facility and their families, as well as for the local businesses that would be undermined by job losses of this magnitude.  We must put the working families affected by this situation first, so my staff and I have put together this portion of our website to collect your stories and show the real effect of these actions.

The news of the possible elimination of these jobs is indeed a call to action, but I need your help.  Please send in your thoughts, comments and stories to my office and we will review them for possible use on my website and also in speeches I make on the topic.  Even though I won’t be able to use every story, I want to know what every family is going through and how my staff and I can help.
