Summit County - Brigade Leaders

Patrick Brickman - Stow, Ohio

A 2007 graduate of the University of Dayton and a 2003 graduate of St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland’s Ohio City district, Patrick Brickman is currently a 3rd year law student at the University of Akron. Patrick has lived his whole life in Northeast Ohio and he has family from Mentor to Chardon to Jefferson. Patrick has worked for a research psychiatrist, he has volunteered at the Summit County Prosecutor’s office, clerked at a civil litigation firm, and is now the Deputy Field Director for Bill O’Neill for Congress, coordinating the field efforts of Bill’s Brigade in the City of Solon and Summit County.

Patrick came on board with the campaign because he believes that incumbency should not last into a NINTH term. Steve Latourette has taken the families and friends of the 14th District for granted, forgetting that he is our representative. He only speaks in national terms now, caring about DC politics more than the very real needs of Northeast Ohio. He takes money from special interests so that he can stay in Washington without ever having to speak to Ohio’s issues.

It’s time for Bill O’Neill, who will reinvest in Northeast Ohio with new energy manufacturing development and tax breaks for small businesses. It’s time for Bill O’Neill, who will speak to Ohio’s issues better than a guy who has been in Washington for 16 years. It’s time for Bill O’Neill and his plan to represent the people of the district, not the special interest of Washington.

Patrick will be helping share Bill’s plans with the good people of Summit and Solon.

David Kowalski - Stow, Ohio

I am currently a senior at Kent State University, I'm majoring in Political Science and minoring in marketing. I hope to intern in Washington in the spring and graduate in May of 2011. I've been a life long resident of northeast Ohio after graduating from Geneva High School in 2006.

I decided to become part of Bills Brigade because I think Bill could bring some innovative new ideas to Washington and change the policies of the last decade plus of NO.

Personally, I have joined Bill's Brigade because he really cares about the people that the poor economy is affecting.
