Who is the best choice to represent Ohio?

Beginning this Saturday you can cast your vote for the person who will replace former Governor William Allen as Ohio’s second statue in Statuary Hall on Capitol Hill.  Unlike regular elections, there is no age limit on who can participate and no registration is necessary. The polling places include the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus and 36 sites around the state.  The voting will run through June 12. The 10 finalists are:

• James M. Ashley
• Thomas Edison
• Ulysses S. Grant
• William McCulloch
• Jesse Owens
• Judith Resnick
• Albert Sabin
• Harriet Beecher Stowe
• Harriet Taylor Upton
• Orville and Wilbur Wright ( Wright Brothers counted as one)

Let your voice be heard! Don’t forget to vote!
