Marci Fudge fills seat of Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones
Published by Pamela Gentry on Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 2:00 pm.By Pamela Gentry, Senior Political Producer
Nov. 19, 2008 – With no opposition on the ballot during the special election, Democrat Marcia L. Fudge was a shoe-in Nov. 4 to fill Ohio’s vacant 11th District seat. Fudge will enter the 110th Congress to fill the seat left empty by the sudden death of Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones.
With the win in the special election, Fudge will now have a seniority jump on her colleagues elected Nov. 4 during the general election. After winning the special election Oct. 14, unopposed by any other Democrat, she beat her Republican opponent, Thomas Pekarek, winning 85 percent of the vote.
On Wednesday, following the swearing in of the new officers of the Congressional Black Caucus, Fudge said she’s ready for the challenges ahead and looks forward to continuing the work of her predecessor. “I think her legacy more than any particular issue or piece of legislation was her desire to make the 11th District a better place. I think she had such a passion about people, and I think that will be easy for me to carry on.”
Fudge will enter the 111th Congress leaving behind her job as mayor of Warrensville Heights, a suburb of Cleveland. The former National President of Delta Sigma Theta had also worked as an aid for Tubbs Jones earlier in her career.
Tubbs Jones died in August after suffering an aneurysm while driving her car in Cleveland.
The 11th District is predominantly African American and the only district in Ohio with a Black representative in Congress. Fudge was sworn in following her Oct. election, so she’ll have three months seniority on her colleagues elected on Nov. 4, who won’t be sworn in until the full convenes in January.
“My top priority is finding my way around this building and after that figuring out how I can be most effective for the people in my district,” she said.
Fudge was on hand Wednesday for the swearing in of the new offices of the Congressional Black Caucus. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) was unanimously elected to serve as the 21st chairwoman of the Black lawmaker’s caucus along with:
• Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (Mo.) – First Vice Chair
• Del. Donna Christensen (Virgin Island) – Second Vice Chair
• Rep. G. K. Butterfield (N.C.) – Secretary
• Rep.Yvette Clarke (N.Y.) – Whip
Outgoing chairwoman, Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick, said, “I am honored to hand the mantle of CBC leadership to Chairwoman-elect Barbara Lee. I am confident she will lead the CBC in the 111th Congress.”

My home was in foreclosure and I went to this website and they called me and gave me a ton of information to help me get my loan balance reduced and my payments lowered. It might not be the best option for everyone but you can get a lot of really good information from them.

Hello, my name is kristen.
[b][url=http://www.swwatch.com]Replica Chanel Watches[/url][/b]
I have always liked watches, especially those that have the ability to stand out while still being something that you can wear every day. I was at a holiday party and I noticed this handsome black watch that another party goer was wearing. I was admiring the color as well as the diamonds that were located around the outer edge of the bezel as well as on the band. I thought it must be a very pricey watch, something I couldn’t afford, but asked about it anyway.
The gentleman told me that he was wearing a [url=http://www.swwatch.com]Replica Chanel J12[/url]. Upon closer inspection I noticed the quality of the watch as well as the fact that the watch even had a black face. I was very impressed and told the man so. This was a watch worth admiring!
The next day I was still think about the watch and decided to look up how much such a watch would cost. As I thought, the watch was very expensive, but as I continued to look I noticed that there were also [url=http://www.swwatch.com]replica watches[/url] of this style. The Chanel [b][url=http://www.swwatch.com]replica watches[/url][/b] were very well made, looked exactly like the real thing, but were much more affordable. I ordered one and have been very pleased with it. I have people asking me about it all the time, and none of them have ever suspected that it is anything but an authentic Chanel.
