Hillary for Ohio Western Cuyahoga Office Now Open in Lakewood
The new Clinton field office in Lakewood is one of nearly two dozen currently open in Ohio.
LAKEWOOD, OH — Around 100 supporters and volunteers braved the stormy weather and sweltering heat last week for the opening of the newest Hillary Clinton field office in Lakewood on the first floor of the Lakewood Center North building at 14600 Detroit Ave.
United States Secretary of Labor, the Honorable Tom Perez gave an enthusiastic endorsement for Clinton (see video below) and spoke about how she can help the economy compared to Trump.
Perez called Hillary Clinton "the most famous unknown person in America," explaining that he feels that you can get a lot of insight about a person by looking at what they've done before they were in the spotlight.
