RE-ELECT
Medina County Commissioner
Pat
Geissman
 | Pat Geissman has worked diligently for the people of Medina County and has been responsive to the | |
| community. Pat was the first woman elected as a Medina County Commissioner in 1992 and has stayed true to her platform by remaining a true fiscal conservative protecting your tax dollars. Pat is a compassionate leader initiating programs to help battered women, safety improvements at railroad crossings and has raised thousands of dollars for local charities. Medina County will be well served to re- elect Pat Geissman as Commissioner. |
| I have worked with Commissioner Pat Geissman for many years as she has served as liaison to the Sheriff | |
| and am very pleased to endorse her re-election. Pat is a hard-working Commissioner who listens, who takes initiative when something needs done and who gets results. Pat’s efforts have ensured the upgrade of the county’s 911 system, effective drug abuse enforcement, building a much needed juvenile detention facility and safety improvements to Medina County railroad crossings – all without raising taxes. Pat approaches problems with common sense and in a financially responsible way putting the safety of Medina County residents and the protection of our wallets first. |
| During my 16+ years in the Ohio Senate, I was privileged to work with Commissioner Patricia Geissman. I | |
| admire her intelligence, common sense, hard work ethic, and her commitment to the people of Medina County. Pat is a committed public servant and I endorse her without reservation. |
| There is a motto you may have seen or heard lately, "Never underestimate the power of TRUST." Well, | |
| that saying holds true for Patricia Geissman. Pat represents Medina County well, never forgetting the southwest corner in which she lives. She is honest, gracious and willing to admit when she makes an error in judgement...which doesn't happen often. I consider Pat Geissman a true civil servant, working hard to make Medina County the best place to live, work and enjoy. Mrs. Geissman is one individual in whom you can put your TRUST. Thanks for all you do, Pat. |
| We would like to express our appreciation for the years of exceptional service Commissioner Pat Geissman | |
| has provided to Medina County and Liverpool Township. Anytime we requested assistance or information Pat was available to help in whatever way she could. Over the years our experience has been that we can count on Pat to follow through with what she promises in supporting township grants and other projects. We are looking forward to her continued service for another four years. |

| It is a rare occurrence to meet an elected official who is as genuine and warm hearted as Pat Geissman. I | |
| have known Pat since her first campaign to represent the people of Medina County as a Commissioner, nearly seventeen years ago. Pat’s honesty, openness and sincerity is evident in everything she undertakes. I have worked along side Pat while she advocated for and made happen a shelter for battered women and children. Specifically, Pat’s work on behalf of older adults has earned her accolades from people across this state and in Medina County. When Federal funding was cut for meals for seniors she found the money in the county budget to ensure no senior went hungry. Pat assisted in starting the Farmers Market Nutritional Program for seniors living in poverty and without taxpayer’s money. Pat sees a problem and she works to resolve the problem with little fanfare. Pat has a distinctive voice in her conservative values and her high regard for the people she represents. These ideals have endeared her to her constituents. Please join me in ensuring Pat returns to represent us and our future. |
| What I tell everyone about Ms. Geissman is that not only is she well respected by State officials but also all | |
| of the local communities. When you need something done, she is the one to go to. I appreciate her dedication and commitment to run for commissioner again. She is a pleasure to work with. |
| It is with great pride that I share my respect and admiration with you regarding Commissioner Pat | |
| Geissman. I had the opportunity to work with Pat for fourteen years. Pat frequently dealt with personnel issues and case related issues throughout that time. Sometimes they were not the most pleasant of circumstances. Pat always approached the issue with fairness and utmost objectivity. Pat gathered the facts, asked tough but fair questions and ultimately made her final decision. I always knew that Pat looked at all aspects and only then, made a fully informed decision that she was willing to uphold. That is not to say that Pat lacks passion. Pat has steadfastly been an advocate on behalf of the elderly both at the state and local level. Her behind the scenes hard work has been recognized by many in the field of geriatric social work. I often shared data with her that she in turn took to the state level in order to demonstrate the needs of the elderly. Pat also makes the commitment to meet with staff from numerous agencies, parents and attend many ongoing activities throughout the community. Pat is anything but "a part-time commissioner". Medina County is fortunate to benefit from her leadership skills. As a Medina County resident, I hope she continues to represent us in the future. Please join us and support the re-election of Pat. |
| It is with pride and honor that I unqualifiedly endorse Pat Geissman for Commissioner of Medina County. | |
| Asking the hard questions, challenging and sometimes causing a spirited debate is what brings out both sides of an issue which is not only what we want, but what we expect from our government leaders. Pat has always had the best interests of all of Medina County residents on her mind. Pat formed a railroad task force to evaluate and prioritize grade crossings to get state funded grants for gates and lights at dangerous crossings to help make crossings in Medina County Safer. She has been a strong supporter of the Hands Foundation which is helping hundreds of Medina County’s Senior Citizens. She is involved in many other organizations and throughout our County. As a County Commissioner she has been a strong voice in our County’s government. Thank you Pat for your many years of service and the giving of yourself, and your family. Please join me in supporting and re-electing Pat Geissman as Medina County Commissioner. |
| For over 30 years Pat Geissman has shown to be a dedicated and caring leader through the offices she | |
| has held in Medina County. As a council person for the village of Lodi I have had the opportunity to see exactly how important it is to have a commissioner that truly cares for the communities that make up Medina County. To re-elect Pat is to help guarantee continued growth and prosperity for all of Medina County" |
| It is my pleasure to endorse Pat Geissman for Medina County Commissioner. I have worked as HR for the | |
| Medina County Highway Engineer for over 22 years and I admire the fact that Pat takes her position seriously and puts herself wholly into whatever project she is working on. She researches carefully and tries to always be fair in her judgments. Working with Pat through the years on various committees, charitable functions, boards, projects, etc., I have been able to see her hard work and dedication firsthand. I am now also proud after many years of working together, to be able to call her my friend. I believe Pat Geissman will continue to work hard for our County and represent her constituents in the manner they deserve. |
| Pat Geissman has a proven record of fiscal responsibility in Medina County. She has maintained a | |
| balanced budget throughout each term, and her many projects have been accomplished with no increase in taxes. As a result, Medina County has a 'Superb' credit rating. Her sound management is definitely needed in these trying times. |
| I have lived in this community for 29 years, and I vote in every election for the person vs. a specific party. | |
| As a CEO of a non-profit corporation and as a volunteer in this community, I have had the opportunity to work with county commissioners over the past 25 years. Pat Geissman has proven to possess the valuable combination of both maturity and experience. Pat has proven to be a person who genuinely listens to all sides of the issues, and to anyone who calls on her. You always have her undivided attention. She thinks things through, seeks advice from other experts, and is not afraid to stand up to issues that are 'unpopular' when the truth needs to be known by the public. She is a person in politics that exhibits integrity, good common sense, and compassion - that is truly rare. |
Pat has earned the respect and support of many...
