  <blurb>Ok - this is actually more than 12, but I&amp;#39;d hate to start cutting.

It&amp;#39;s easy to get caught up in the &amp;quot;sexy&amp;quot; races, but these are candidates who, if they win, will be making the biggest difference in people&amp;#39;s lives.</blurb>

      <pageblurb>Sykes is the only African-American running statewide in Ohio. It may not be as cool as the governor&amp;apos;s mansion, but taking back a state isn&amp;apos;t just about winning one race at the top of the ticket, it&amp;apos;s about people like Sykes.</pageblurb>
