WASHINGTON, June 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Tonight, President Bush heads to Powell, Ohio for a closed press fundraiser benefiting Republican Senator Mike DeWine's struggling reelection campaign. This is the latest effort by Senator DeWine to avoid being seen in public with President Bush even as he collects thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from special interest donors willing to spend $10,000 for a photo with the president or attend a $2,100 per plate dinner.

In four of five presidential visits to Ohio this year, Senator DeWine has gone out of his way to avoid being seen in public with a president whose approval rating has dropped to 36 percent in Ohio. (Akron Beacon Journal, 6/29/06; SurveyUSA, 6/13/06) Senator DeWine skipped a presidential address on the Iraq War in Cleveland in March, skipped town in February when the president pitched his failed scheme for health savings accounts in Dublin, and kept the press from a fundraiser in Cincinnati in March.

"If Senator DeWine wants to make a withdrawal from President Bush's special interest cash machine he should do it in public," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Damien LaVera. "Refusing to be seen with him doesn't change the fact that Senator DeWine has rubberstamped the president's failed leadership and misplaced priorities and joined the rest of the Bush Republicans in Congress in putting special interests ahead of Ohio's working families.

"Buckeye State voters are hungry for change because Republicans like Senator DeWine have failed to raise the minimum wage, confront skyrocketing gas prices, create jobs for Ohioans, or help increase access to health care. That's why strong Democratic leaders like Sherrod Brown are offering a new direction for America, not more of the same special-interest driven agenda we've seen from Bush Republicans."
