Cleveland Stonewall Democrats Endorse Tom Bullock for Ohio House
Tom Bullock is running in the open race for State Representative from House District 13
The Cleveland Stonewall Democrats, an independent Democratic club committed to educating, endorsing, electing and holding accountable, pro-LGBT Democrats across Greater Cleveland, announced today their endorsement of Tom Bullock in the open race to represent House District 13.
"Tom Bullock is the right choice for State Representative. He received the endorsement of Cleveland Stonewall Democrats’ members because we know he will stand up for progressive values -- workers' rights and wages, the environment, and people often left out of the conversation -- including the LGBTQ community. He will stand up for Democratic principles and work to make Ohio a more prosperous and inclusive state,” said Lakewood resident and Stonewall board member Erik Meinhardt.
Bullock has served on Lakewood City Council for ten years. During that time, the city’s property values have increased, business is growing, and the community is attracting young families. He said he is running for state representative to apply his ability to get things done for the entire 13th District

"Tom is a strong partner of the LGBTQ community and will work hard to fight for us in Columbus. He shares our values and the policy knowledge and temperament to make impactful change at the Statehouse," Meinhardt added.
