Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has taken to a releasing a weekly digest of important upcoming events, including her speaking engagements.
This is useful information for the media, especially when you become a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
So what? A number of
elected officials use their office to help boost their name ID. Only in this case Brunner actively criticized
her predecessor for the same thing:
“Blackwell
used his office as a stepping-stone to the Governor's Office, but [Brunner]
said she plans to focus solely on the secretary of state's job.” (News Herald, Sept.
13, 2006)
“At
times, it sounded like [Brunner] was running against current officeholder Ken
Blackwell. She accused him of using the office for partisan purposes while
preparing for his own gubernatorial bid.” (Toledo Blade, 10/20/06)
