Attorney General Candidate & State Representative Jeff Crossman to deliver keynote

The Seneca County Democratic Party will gather for its annual dinner at The Chandelier  Community Event Center in downtown Tiffin on Wednesday October 19, announced  chairwoman Gina Grandillo. 

The dinner will be highlighted by a special recognition of retiring Judge Michael P. Kelbley,  of the Seneca County Common Pleas Court.  

Judge Kelbley has served honorably for the last 34 years. A native of New Riegel, Judge  Kelbley received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from John Carroll University, Magna Cum  Laude, and his Juris Doctorate from Case Western Reserve University. 

The party is honored to have State Representative Jeff Crossman, Ohio Democratic  candidate for Ohio Attorney General, to deliver the keynote address. 

Representing Parma, Brooklyn Heights, Cuyahoga Heights, and part of southwest  Cleveland, Jeff Crossman began his first term serving the Ohio House in January 2019. Jeff is  a dedicated public servant. 

His story is one of true grit: one of three kids raised by a single mom, growing up next to  now-shuttered factories, working full time while attending law school at night and now,  bringing his five years of experience as a Parma City Councilman to the Statehouse. 

In addition, Ohio District Five Congressional candidate, Craig Swartz will also address the  group. 

The evening will begin with a reception at 6:00 pm, with the program beginning at 7:30.
