Dale, a delegate from Ohio, wants to be part of electing a new leadership for America to help make fundamental change. After 35 years of political experience as a Cleveland City Councilman, State Representative, and State Senator, as well as volunteering for over 100 campaigns, Dale knows when we need to turn the country in a different direction.

She’s excited to work for Obama. “I volunteered to be a neighborhood team leader and am working eight precincts in my neighborhood in much the same way that I worked them when I first ran for City Council in 1979. I believe that Senator Obama is particularly strong at getting good people around him and at having a clear vision for a new foreign policy built around diplomacy and collaboration with other nations, along with the knowledge that the world has several serious problems that have to be dealt with.”

In addition, Dale is also very concerned about improving the economy and urban issues. “We must acknowledge the housing and foreclosure crisis and developing an economic policy that helps low and middle class people become self sufficient and reach their full potential.” Dale has faith that Senator Obama will effectively address climate change and the energy crisis, as well as developing a foreign policy that utilizes collaboration over warfare.

During his free time, Dale enjoys traveling and camping with his wife of 23 years, Carol.
