Informing and Empowering Ohio’s Voters with Disabilities.
The Ohio Candidate Forum on Disability Issues will provide a format for the candidates for Ohio Governor and U.S. Senate to inform the disability community about their positions on disability-related issues/policy.

Location: Ohio State University Fawcett Event Center,
2400 Olentangy River Rd., Columbus, OH 43210
