Dr.Victoria Wells Wulsin
Running for Congress in Ohio against (Mean) Jean Schmidt








Bio of Wulsin from http://www.dccc.org/races/candidates/OH_02_Victoria_Wulsin.html

Dr. Vic Wulsin has dedicated her career to public health, working at the community level in Cincinnati and leading international projects around the world. She is running for Congress because Ohio deserves a government as good as the people it serves. The 2nd District is ready to replace Jean Schmidt with a real leader.

As the daughter of a social worker and a teacher, and the granddaughter of ministers, Vic learned at an early age the value of helping others and the meaning of a life dedicated to service.

After graduating from Shaw High School, Vic earned her B.A. at Harvard and her M.D. at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. After earning a doctorate in Public Health, specializing in epidemiology, Dr. Vic returned to Ohio to raise her family and serve her community.

Vic has practiced medicine in both rural and urban settings here in southwest Ohio. As Cincinnati's city epidemiologist, Vic fought deadly outbreaks of disease like whooping cough and influenza. In Adams County, she directed a health literacy program, and she currently serves as chair of the board of the Health Resource Center, a free clinic in Over-the-Rhine.

As a uniformed officer with the US Public Health Service, Vic brought unions and business leaders together to improve worker safety. Together, they reduced carcinogens in the workplace through a nation-wide effort against vinyl chloride, a chemical known to cause liver cancer. She has fought for occupational safety through her work with the International Chemical Workers and the United Steel Workers.

Vic’s work as a doctor has taken her to over twenty nations. She directed a five-year, $30 million project to promote women’s health in five countries in Africa and Asia, and she finished the project on time and on budget. Vic assisted the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in reconstruction efforts following the genocide in Rwanda. Most recently she founded SOTENI International, a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing HIV and AIDS among orphans in Kenya.

With Dr. Lawson Wulsin, a professor of medicine at the University of Cincinnati and her husband of 28 years, Vic has raised four wonderful sons, all educated in local public schools. The Wulsin family has lived in the 2nd Congressional District for 20 years. Victoria and Lawson are active members of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Terrace Park.

Dr. Victoria Wulsin is not a professional politician, but she has already proven herself to be a tireless and effective campaigner. The Cincinnati Enquirer endorsed her for the Democratic primary, saying, “Wulsin has the passion and the skills to carry the Democratic torch in this important House race.” She won the Democratic Primary handily, and she now stands ready to beat her unpopular opponent in the November election.

MEET DR. VICTORIA WULSIN-- IF YOU BELIEVE IN AMERICA'S FUTURE IT'S PAST TIME TO DUMP TRASH LIKE MEAN JEAN SCHMIDT

Wulsin has challenged Schmidt to seven debates in all seven counties of the district, which includes Brown, Adams, Scioto, Clermont, Hamilton, Pike and Warren. Wulsin said Schmidt has not yet responded to her offer.

When questioned on Monday, Schmidt's chief of staff, Barry Bennett, said it was true that Schmidt has actually refused to face Wulsin in seven debates covering all counties within the district, but she has agreed to hold at least one televised debate.

1. She looks absolutley wonderful!! What a great candidate!! I

wonder what kind of vile hate-filled vomit mean Jean will spew at her?

[LibraLiz1973]

2. I just learned alot about her and the race

Just doing the research! It's very interesting and one of the races I am going to be keeping an eye on

[blue neen]

3. She desereves to win this race.

Dr. Wulsin has already proven that she is a wonderful public servant for Ohio and the people of her district. She would represent them well in Washington.

She and Mean Jean are polar opposites.

4. Dem of the day is going to die a quick death

I really thought people would be interested in learning about the candidates.
God knows I have enjoyed the research. Like I said before I did not know anything about Vic until today.

This shows me that most people would rather read the negative stories and respond to them than
read something positive and informative


My bad



Thanks for posting Blue Neen!! I'm glad someone was interested in and got the D.O.D. idea.
With you and the 3 or 4 people that read yesterdays (Bob Casey) I feel like it wasn't completely wasted time!!


: ~ )


VOTE DEMOCRAT

6. I still think it's a great idea.

Sometimes it's difficult to get people to pay attention to the GOOD news. Maybe we have been too programmed by the MSM to know how to respond to optimism anymore.

There are a lot of terrific Democratic candidates this year. You're providing a good service by letting us know about them. Thanks. :)


WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, PEOPLE! How are you going to know how to respond to freeper attacks on our candidates if you are not informed about them?
