From his official Bio:
After Ted Strickland was first reelected to Congress, he placed a plaque in his office with the following quote from Scripture:
“And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?â€â€”Micah 6:8
Throughout his service as a minister, a psychologist, a professor and a Member of Congress, Ted has worked to exemplify those simple, powerful words. The same plaque hangs in the Governor’s Office, coupled with the same commitment to fulfill them.
He comes to the Governor’s Office ready to put his heart and soul into fighting for the dignity of families and all people in Ohio.†As governor, Ted is guided by his Turnaround Ohio plan, which focuses on the unbreakable link between economic growth and educational achievement. Ted wants to ensure that Ohio keeps and grows the jobs we have by investing in Ohio’s strengths, and also wants to bring the jobs of the future to our state by ensuring that we have the best-educated workforce possible.
