Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher has spent his life fighting for Ohio families and values. When our nation faced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Lee wasn’t willing to sit on the sidelines while hardworking Ohioans suffered.

As Director of Ohio’s Department of Development for the first two years of the Strickland-Fisher administration, Lee has worked tirelessly, alongside Governor Ted Strickland, to retain, attract, and create jobs to grow Ohio’s economy. Lee knows first-hand the devastating consequences of the Bush Administration’s misguided trade policies, failed economic program, and disastrous fiscal stewardship that ran up our national debt and cost thousands of Americans, and Ohioans, their jobs and pensions.

Whether it’s as a father, husband, teacher, children’s advocate, champion for social justice and human and civil rights, Ohio’s chief law enforcement officer, or Ohio’s chief economic development leader, Lee has devoted his life to getting real results, finding real solutions, and making a real difference in the lives of people throughout Ohio. He now wants to bring those years of experience in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, of making change happen and getting real results to Washington where he can join the fight for a better future for all Americans and Ohioans.
