Welcome To My Campaign Website

Thank you for visiting my campaign website. It is an honor to serve as the Representative for the 11th District of Ohio and to provide you with information on my campaign. The year 2008 will mark my 28th year in public service, and my tenth year in Congress. As a public servant, I believe strongly in our system of government and in the American people. But we are also living in a time when budget deficits and a lack of commitment to working families have created significant challenges to overcome. These are not insurmountable and I look forward to continue working on your behalf to advance opportunities for constituents of the 11th District of Ohio.

I encourage you to explore my campaign website for information on my views. I also want to hear from you. Please be sure to sign up for my electronic newsletter , or fill out our contact form to send me your ideas. Due to the volume of email I receive, I cannot always respond to every email, but I like to hear from you and I read what you send.

Your contributions are always welcome. Please click the donation link to contribute online, or mail your campaign contribution to the following address:

Tubbs jones supports job corp funding

Amidst lackluster economic growth, Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH) has joined with a bipartisan group of House Members in sending a letter to the Appropriations Committee urging full funding for Job Corps. She released the following statement."Through the American people's unwavering resilience, the economy continues to show signs of improvement. Payroll employment rose by 262,000 in February," stated Rep. Tubbs Jones.

"Unfortunately, job gains did not translate into wage growth for most workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the national unemployment rate rose again from 5.2 to 5.4 percent. Both average hourly earnings and average weekly earnings were flat last month for production and non-managerial workers, who account for about 80 percent of the labor force.
