InfoJohn Wolfe, an attorney, is a native son of Ohio's 13th District. He was born and raised in Cuyahoga Falls and now lives in West Akron. He has two children, Karla and David, and four grandchildren. He has been an active, life-long Democrat.

John understands first hand, through his clients and life experience, the economic challenges facing Northeast Ohio and our district's working families. Both of his grandfathers were union members. His mother, Phyllis, was a loving, kind and industrious woman, who devoted her life to her home and family. Leslie G. Wolfe, his father, served as Chief Deputy and Summit County Engineer for 30 years.

John has been a full-time, self-employed practicing attorney in Akron for 50 years. He has appeared before the Ohio Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. He's a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers, the Summit County Trial Lawyers Association, and is a charter member and co-founder of the National Employment Lawyers Association, specializing in vindicating the rights of employees who have been unjustly terminated or denied benefits. John is a former Assistant Prosecutor of Summit County and Assistant Attorney General of Ohio, and has represented townships and villages. He has been an adjunct professor at the Law School of the University of Akron.

John is a veteran of World War II, serving in Korea, a graduate of the University of Akron and the Law School of the University of Michigan, a former Democratic Chairman of Cuyahoga Falls, an Honorary Fellow of the Harry S. Truman Library, serves on the Board of Trustees of the Akron Law Library Association, and was a committee chairman of both the Akron and the Ohio State Bar Associations.

He is also an active preservationist, having faithfully restored an historic home in Akron, where he now lives. He's a member and supporter of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Ohio Historical Society, and is a past President of Progress Through Preservation. John was also a 12-year member of an Akron-based Great Books Discussion group.

John L. Wolfe is dedicated to improving the economic well-being and quality of life for all Ohioans. His accomplishments show great dedication and perseverance in whatever endeavor he pursues. If elected in 2006, John will give the same dedication in representing the people of Ohio's 13th District in the United States Congress. John Wolfe will be a worthy successor to Congressman Sherrod Brown, who has so ably represented America, Ohio, and the 13th District.
