Meteorologist and progressive activist Palmer J. Peterson of Aurora is running for Congress. Peterson, 31, is inspired by his father and mother who served as mayor and clerk-treasurer, respectively, of the Village of Reminderville in Summit County.
"I learned valuable political lessons as I grew up, but the most important one I learned was that of service. To be elected is to be a steward of the people, one who is looking out for the people's best interests. Being elected is a bond. A bond of trust between the elected and the electors," explains Peterson.
Peterson feels that our current congressman, Steve LaTourette, has broken that bond with his constituents. LaTourette has become a "creature of Washington".
Peterson is joined in the Democratic primary by Lewis Katz, a law professor at Case Western.
