She is an attorney and a former two-term County Commissioner of Franklin County, Ohio, which includes the capital city of Columbus and some of its surrounding suburban and rural areas. Previously, she served two four-year terms on the Columbus School Board after working in private practice.

In both the 2006 and 2008 United States House of Representatives elections, Kilroy was involved in close elections for Ohio's 15th congressional district. She lost in 2006 after an election that required the counting of absentee ballots and election recounts. However, after the incumbent retired, she won a similarly close election in 2008. In both cases, she was behind after the Election Day vote tabulations, but made up significant ground with belated absentee ballot voting results. The 2010 election race was widely followed in the mainstream press as a race that the Republicans were targeting.

Early life, education, and legal career edit

Born in Euclid, Ohio,[2] Kilroy grew up in Cleveland. The daughter of a pipe fitter, she paid her way through college by working at hospitals, as a waitress and as a counselor.[2] She earned her bachelor's degree in political science from Cleveland State University in 1977 and her J.D. from Ohio State University in 1980.[2][3][4]

Prior to practicing law as a partner with her husband at the plaintiffs law firm of Handelman and Kilroy, Kilroy was a social worker, hospital technician and tutor.[3][5] In 1988, as chairman of her local branch of the National Lawyers Guild, Kilroy signed a letter urging Columbus Mayor Dana G. Rinehart to support an order in favor of creating an equal employment opportunity chief to handle race relations issues in the Columbus Division of Police.[6]

Local politics edit

In 1991, she ran for an eighteen-person contest for four Columbus School Board seats on a platform that included proposing to lengthen the scholastic day from six and a half hours to eight.[7] Kilroy was one of four candidates to receive the endorsement of the Franklin County Democratic Party.[5] On November 5, 1991, she placed behind incumbent Columbus School Board President, Sharlene Morgan, natural resources expert Robert Teater, past board member Bill Moss, which made her the fourth among the eighteen candidates and the final elected member.[8]

By her second year on the seven-member board, she was a unanimous selection to be second in command as Columbus School Board Vice President.[9] She was unanimously re-elected the following year.[10] In her fourth year of service on the board beginning on January 3, 1995, she lost a 4–3 election for Columbus School Board President when the incumbent, Robert W. Teater, cast a tie-breaking vote for himself. She subsequently declined the vice presidency.[11] During her fourth year, she unsuccessfully attempted to include a sexual orientation policy in the school district's nondiscrimination policy that would protect homosexuals.[12] She was reelected in 1995.[2] In 1996, she contested Ohio's 16th district seat in the Ohio State Senate with Eugene Watts,[2] but she lost by a 51.80–37.46% margin in a five-way contest.[13]

Still on the school board, she resumed her vice presidency on January 5, 1998.[14] She ascended to the Columbus School Board President position for her eighth year of service to the board on January 4, 1999.[15][16] During this eighth year, she decided not to run for re-election to a third term in order to spend more time with her family.[17]

On January 6, 2000, she won one of the Franklin County Democratic Party's two nominations for one of two seats to the three-member Board of County Commissioners.[18] The board oversees the Franklin County government's $1.3 billion budget and programs that range from child welfare to job training to minor league baseball.[19] On November 7, 2000, she became the first Democrat elected as a Franklin County Commissioner in eight years.[20] She won by a 48–47% margin by capturing 55 of 74 wards and 90% of the vote in six inner-city wards.[21] She served as the Board's lone Democrat until she was re-elected to a second four-year term and Paula Brooks was elected on November 2, 2004, to give Democrats the majority for the first time in twenty years.[22][23][24] In her re-election she won by a 28,500 vote margin, which was substantially more than the 4,300 vote margin in 2000.[25] During both elections, she won despite being widely outspent.[26] She assumed the role of Board President on January 10, 2005.[27]

Governing magazine named Franklin County as being among the five best-managed counties in the country during Kilroy's tenure. Also, Kilroy was named the Public Official of the Year by the Central Ohio Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers as a result of her role in creating the Columbus/Franklin County Affordable Housing Trust.[3] Her term as commissioner was not without controversy, however. Kilroy came under fire during the awarding of contracts for the construction of Huntington Park because the lowest bid for the concrete was rejected in favor of a higher bid by a union shop.[28] Eventually, the issue went to court and the commissioners decided to award the contract to the low bidder. She lost the 2006 race for U.S. Representative from Ohio's 15th congressional district to Deborah Pryce, 50.2%–49.7%.[29]

Elections edit

Main article: 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio § District 15

Franklin County, which has elected Kilroy twice, makes up 87% of the 15th Congressional district.[30] The 2006 race in Ohio's 15th district gained significant national attention as it was seen as one of a handful of seats that Democrats had an opportunity to gain from Republicans. As of mid-October, the race was generally considered to be a toss-up largely due to incumbent Representative Pryce's leadership in the Republican Party.[31][32] Pryce had not had a close contest since her first election in 1992 and had garnered 10% more of the vote than George W. Bush in 2004.[32] However, Pryce was vulnerable due to Ohio Republican Party (Bob Taft and Bob Ney) scandals,[33] the lagging Ohio economy,[34] her association with controversial Dennis Hastert and Mark Foley,[32][34][35][36] and backlash to Republican support of the Iraq War.[32][34][37] Another Ohio Republican scandal in the minds of Ohio voters during the 2006 campaign was the Coingate scandal.[38] Pryce and the Republicans had to keep conservative independent, Charles Morrison, off the ballot to have their best shot at success.[30][39] A month before the election, Pryce was 12 points behind Kilroy.[36][40] On the eve of the election, some experts, such as Time, considered Pryce the underdog.[34] Kilroy was expected to be the beneficiary of the decade-long migration of conservative voters to suburbs outside of the district.[41]

Kilroy made an issue of Pryce's knowledge of the Foley scandal and the need for Hastert to resign.[42][43] Kilroy also linked her opponent to the unpopular Republican administration and congressional majority.[44] After Foley resigned following the page scandal, Kilroy attacked Pryce with the conservative religious voters.[45] Kilroy ran radio commercials on Christian and conservative radio stations in an attempt to appeal to family-values-oriented listeners.[36]

Two debates were held for this race during the 2006 election cycle. The first took place September 18,[46] and the second was on October 12.[47][48] In the first debate Kilroy and incumbent U.S. Representative, Pryce discussed the war in Iraq, the War on Terror, taxes, social security, the federal deficit and President Bush. In the final week before the election, Pryce attempted to demand another debate.[49]

The second debate was marked by a more heated exchange on behalf of both participants. Kilroy referred to Pryce as a "right-wing apologist" and said that "Deborah Pryce continues to distort my record."[48] Meanwhile, Pryce described her opponent as a "far left fringe Democrat" and said that Kilroy "spews lies and misinformation."[48] The debate was attended by 400 people at the Ohio State University Fawcett Center and reporters from as far away as Ireland.

After regular ballots were counted, Pryce led Kilroy by over 3,500 votes with about 19,000 provisional ballots outstanding.[50][51][52] The Franklin county absentee and provisional ballots were not counted until approximately two weeks after the election.[53][54] On Monday November 27, nearly three weeks after Election Day, Pryce was declared the winner by a 1,054 vote margin that mandated a recount.[55] After two recounts and all of the votes were counted, Congresswoman Deborah Pryce (R) prevailed over Democratic challenger Mary Jo Kilroy. The Franklin County Board of Elections announced the results Monday morning December 11, 2006. Pryce (R) gained 25 votes and Kilroy (D) gained 18 votes in the recount of votes in Franklin, Union, and Madison Counties in Ohio. Pryce won with 50.20% of the vote by a 110,739–109,677 margin.[29][56] Kilroy felt her campaign was slowed by the early candidacy of fellow Franklin County Commissioner Paula Brooks, who eventually withdrew. Immediately after losing in 2006, she announced she would recontest the seat in 2008.[57]

In August 2007, incumbent Pryce announced her retirement at the end of her elected term.[59][60] The Democrats felt that the seat continued to be vulnerable.[61] Kilroy announced her intention to again seek the 15th District seat in 2008. She ran against Republican Steve Stivers, a State Senator from the 16th District, Libertarian Mark M. Noble, and Independent candidate Don Elijah Eckhart.[62] The race was considered to be one of the most important U.S. House of Representatives races to watch in the country.[62][63] The last Democrat to hold the 15th district was Robert T. Secrest in the mid-1960s, but with Republican voters moving out of the district into the northern suburbs of Columbus, Ohio since the 1990s, the district became more evenly matched.[62]

In April 2008, the Sierra Club again endorsed Kilroy's candidacy due to her history of environmental advocacy and Stivers' contributions from energy and tobacco companies.[64] During the campaign, Kilroy linked Stivers to big business, bank lobbyists, predatory lending and the financial crisis. Stivers countered by linking Kilroy to liberal media and influence peddling.[62]

Stivers led Kilroy by a 129,852–129,703 margin with 100% of the Election Day precincts counted, but before the provisional ballots were counted.[65][66] On November 25, 2008, Madison and Union counties concluded their absentee, military, and provisional ballot counting and Stivers claimed a net gain resulting in a 594-vote lead. On December 5, 2008, Stivers' supporters won a ruling in the Ohio Supreme Court that the 1,000 provisional ballots that lacked signatures or had names and signatures in the wrong places be thrown out. On December 7, 2008, Franklin County Election Canvassers completed their final ballot count, which included absentee, military, and provisional ballots received within ten days of Election Day, giving Kilroy a victory margin of 2,311 votes over Stivers. This margin exceeds the automatic recount margin of 0.5%. Stivers conceded the race to Kilroy later on Sunday.[67][68][69] The late ballots that weighed on the election were of three types: military and overseas absentee ballots postmarked by the time the polls closed Tuesday November 4 and received by November 14; domestic absentee ballots postmarked by Monday November 3 that are received by November 14; absentee ballots with errors that voters correct by November 14.[70]

Kilroy became the first Democrat to represent the district in 42 years (since Secrest).[62] She is only the second Democrat to represent a significant portion of Columbus since 1967. The last Democrat to represent the city, Bob Shamansky, represented the neighboring 12th District from 1981 to 1983.

2010

In June 2009, Stivers announced his candidacy for a rematch in 2010. According to an op-ed in The New York Times, one issue upon which Stivers and Kilroy differed was the prospective repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which provides direct election of United States Senators.[71] Stivers backpedaled on his support of the repeal after Kilroy made an issue of his stance.[72] The race was one of the most closely watched in the United States House of Representatives elections, 2010,[73][74] and it included a third party candidate.[75] The Republican Party marked it as one of their targeted races according to a U.S. News & World Report article.[74] Time accurately predicted that Kilroy might have trouble in her historically Republican district given the electoral backlash to spending by the Obama Administration and because of her mostly party line voting record.[73] On November 2, 2010, Stivers won the rematch.[76][77]

Tenure edit

Congresswoman Kilroy introduced legislation including a bill to start a three-year pilot program to lend $20 million per year to small businesses (HR5322) and introduced an amendment to assign liability to credit reporting agencies which passed.[78][79] She voted with the Democratic majority for the federal stimulus package,[80] the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009,[81] the cap and trade carbon emissions legislation,[82] and the federal health insurance reform legislation.[83]

Kilroy helped shape the Congressional Bill on executive pay that eventually became law by proposing an amendment requiring large institutional investors to reveal how they vote the shares that they own on pay proposals affecting companies that issued those shares.[84] While serving her first term, she felt attached to the cause of health care reform because it had been an emphasis in her electoral platform.[85]

Kilroy ran in the newly redrawn, Columbus-based Ohio's 3rd congressional district in 2012. Despite being endorsed by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, she lost the Democratic primary to former State Representative Joyce Beatty, who defeated Kilroy, Tyson, and Celeste 38%-35%-15%-12%.[88] Kilroy lost a 2014 election for Franklin County Court of Appeals.[89]

Personal life edit

Mary Jo Kilroy currently resides in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus. Kilroy owned three dogs from animal rescue organizations at the time of the 2006 election.[3]

lengthen the scholastic day from six and a half hours to eight 7 Kilroy was one of four candidates to receive the endorsement of the Franklin County Democratic Party 5 On November 5 1991 she placed behind incumbent Columbus School Board President Sharlene Morgan natural resources expert Robert Teater past board member Bill Moss which made her the fourth among the eighteen candidates and the final elected member 8 By her second year on the seven member board she was a unanimous selection to be second in command as Columbus School Board Vice President 9 She was unanimously re elected the

Paula Brooks was elected on November 2 2004 to give Democrats the majority for the first time in twenty years 22 23 24 In her re election she won by a 28 500 vote margin which was substantially more than the 4 300 vote margin in 2000 25 During both elections she won despite being widely outspent 26 She assumed the role of Board President on January 10 2005 27 Governing magazine named Franklin County as being among the five best managed counties in the country during Kilroy s tenure Also Kilroy was named the Public Official of the Year by the Central Ohio Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers as a result of her role in creating the Columbus Franklin County Affordable Housing Trust 3 Her term as commissioner was not without controversy however Kilroy came under fire during the awarding of contracts for the construction of Huntington Park because the lowest bid for the concrete was rejected in favor of a higher bid by a union shop 28 Eventually the issue went to court and the commissioners decided to award the contract to the low bidder She lost the 2006 race for U S Representative from Ohio s 15th congressional district to Deborah Pryce 50 2 49 7 29 U S House of Representatives editElections edit 2006Main article 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio District 15 Franklin County which has elected Kilroy twice makes up 87 of the 15th Congressional district 30 The 2006 race in Ohio s 15th district gained significant national attention as it was seen as one of a handful of seats that Democrats had an opportunity to gain from Republicans As of mid October the race was generally considered to be a toss up largely due to incumbent Representative Pryce s leadership in the Republican Party 31 32 Pryce had not had a close contest since her first election in 1992 and had garnered 10 more of the vote than George W Bush in 2004 32 However Pryce was vulnerable due to Ohio Republican Party Bob Taft and Bob Ney scandals 33 the lagging Ohio economy 34 her association with controversial Dennis Hastert and Mark Foley 32 34 35 36 and backlash to Republican support of the Iraq War 32 34 37 Another Ohio Republican scandal in the minds of Ohio voters during the 2006 campaign was the Coingate scandal 38 Pryce and the Republicans had to keep conservative independent Charles Morrison off the ballot to have their best shot at success 30 39 A month before the election Pryce was 12 points behind Kilroy 36 40 On the eve of the election some experts such as Time considered Pryce the underdog 34 Kilroy was expected to be the beneficiary of the decade long migration of conservative voters to suburbs outside of the district 41 Kilroy made an issue of Pryce s knowledge of the Foley scandal and the need for Hastert to resign 42 43 Kilroy also linked her opponent to the unpopular Republican administration and congressional majority 44 After Foley resigned following the page scandal Kilroy attacked Pryce with the conservative religious voters 45 Kilroy ran radio commercials on Christian and conservative radio stations in an attempt to appeal to family values oriented listeners 36 Two debates were held for this race during the 2006 election cycle The first took place September 18 46 and the second was on October 12 47 48 In the first debate Kilroy and incumbent U S Representative Pryce discussed the war in Iraq the War on Terror taxes social security the federal deficit and President Bush In the final week before the election Pryce attempted to demand another debate 49 The second debate was marked by a more heated exchange on behalf of both participants Kilroy referred to Pryce as a right wing apologist and said that Deborah Pryce continues to distort my record 48 Meanwhile Pryce described her opponent as a far left fringe Democrat and said that Kilroy spews lies and misinformation 48 The debate was attended by 400 people at the Ohio State University Fawcett Center and reporters from as far away as Ireland After regular ballots were counted Pryce led Kilroy by over 3 500 votes with about 19 000 provisional ballots outstanding 50 51 52 The Franklin county absentee and provisional ballots were not counted until approximately two weeks after the election 53 54 On Monday November 27 nearly three weeks after Election Day Pryce was declared the winner by a 1 054 vote margin that mandated a recount 55 After two recounts and all of the votes were counted Congresswoman Deborah Pryce R prevailed over Democratic challenger Mary Jo Kilroy The Franklin County Board of Elections announced the results Monday morning December 11 2006 Pryce R gained 25 votes and Kilroy D gained 18 votes in the recount of votes in Franklin Union and Madison Counties in Ohio Pryce won with 50 20 of the vote by a 110 739 109 677 margin 29 56 Kilroy felt her campaign was slowed by the early candidacy of fellow Franklin County Commissioner Paula Brooks who eventually withdrew Immediately after losing in 2006 she announced she would recontest the seat in 2008 57 2008See also 2008 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio District 15 nbsp Ted Strickland and Kilroy at Obama Biden rally in

August 2007 incumbent Pryce announced her retirement at the end of her elected term 59 60 The Democrats felt that the seat continued to be vulnerable 61 Kilroy announced her intention to again seek the 15th District seat in 2008 She ran against Republican Steve Stivers a State Senator from the 16th District Libertarian Mark M Noble and Independent candidate Don Elijah Eckhart 62 The race was considered to be one of the most important U S House of Representatives races to watch in the country 62 63 The last Democrat to hold the 15th district was Robert T Secrest in the mid 1960s but with Republican voters moving out of the district into the northern suburbs of Columbus Ohio since the 1990s the district became more evenly matched 62 In April 2008 the Sierra Club again endorsed Kilroy s candidacy due to her history of environmental advocacy and Stivers contributions from energy and tobacco companies 64 During the campaign Kilroy linked Stivers to big business bank lobbyists predatory lending and the financial crisis Stivers countered by linking Kilroy to liberal media and influence peddling 62 Stivers led Kilroy by a 129 852 129 703 margin with 100 of the Election Day precincts counted but before the provisional ballots were counted 65 66 On November 25 2008 Madison and Union counties concluded their absentee military and provisional ballot counting and Stivers claimed a net gain resulting in a 594 vote lead On December 5 2008 Stivers supporters won a ruling in the Ohio Supreme Court that the 1 000 provisional ballots that lacked signatures or had names and signatures in the wrong places be thrown out On December 7 2008 Franklin County Election Canvassers completed their final ballot count which included absentee military and provisional ballots received within ten days of Election Day giving Kilroy a victory margin of 2 311 votes over Stivers This margin exceeds the automatic recount margin of 0 5 Stivers conceded the race to Kilroy later on Sunday 67 68 69 The late ballots that weighed on the election were of three types military and overseas absentee ballots postmarked by the time the polls closed Tuesday November 4 and received by November 14 domestic absentee ballots postmarked by Monday November 3 that are received by November 14 absentee ballots with errors that voters correct by November 14 70 Kilroy became the first Democrat to represent the district in 42 years since Secrest 62 She is only the second Democrat to represent a significant portion of Columbus since 1967 The last Democrat to represent the city Bob Shamansky represented the neighboring 12th District from 1981 to 1983 2010See also 2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio District 15 In June 2009 Stivers announced his candidacy for a rematch in 2010 According to an op ed in The New York Times one issue upon which Stivers and Kilroy differed was the prospective repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which provides direct election of United States Senators 71 Stivers backpedaled on his support of the repeal after Kilroy made an issue of his stance 72 The race was one of the most closely watched in the United States House of Representatives elections 2010 73 74 and it included a third party candidate 75 The Republican Party marked it as one of their targeted races according to a U S News amp World Report article 74 Time accurately predicted that Kilroy might have trouble in her historically Republican district given the electoral backlash to spending by the Obama Administration and because of her mostly party line voting record 73 On November 2 2010 Stivers won the rematch 76 77 Tenure edit Congresswoman Kilroy introduced legislation including a bill to start a three year pilot program to lend 20 million per year to small businesses HR5322 and introduced an amendment to assign liability to credit reporting agencies which passed 78 79 She voted with the Democratic majority for the federal stimulus package 80 the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 81 the cap and trade carbon emissions legislation 82 and the federal health insurance reform legislation 83 Kilroy helped shape the Congressional Bill on executive pay that eventually became law by proposing an amendment requiring large institutional investors to reveal how they vote the shares that they own on pay proposals affecting companies that issued those shares 84 While serving her first term she felt attached to the cause of health care reform because it had been an emphasis in her electoral platform 85 Committee
