The 50-State Turnout in NE Ohio
Getting Out the Youth Vote in Ohio:
Students pushed their way through the Kiva Auditorium at the Kent Student Center in an effort to catch a glimpse of actors Luke Perry and Adam Brody, who shared the stage with Brown.The actors were joining the Democratic congressman on a four-day campus tour of Ohio in his campaign to unseat U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine.
During his remarks to the students, which focused on tuition costs for higher education in Ohio, Brown paid tribute to KSU for its activism.
"Activism on this campus is the tradition you come from," Brown said. "That is your heritage and why you can change this country."
Perry, a Massilon native and star of the 1990s hit Fox television series, Beverly Hills 90210, said he was delivered by Browns father, Dr. Charles Brown. He and Brown shared stories of growing up in Ohio.
"This election is important to me," Perry said. "Ohio needs to become the leader in alternative fuels. Too many Ohioans have gone off to war and died. We need to bring our troops back and have them work towards rebuilding Ohio. That is why we need to support him."
"I fear this government," Perry said. "It is important to make a change. We need to get Congress back to the Democrats or else every last effort will go towards oil, the war and higher tuition."
Brody, a star of the Fox series, The O.C., urged students to vote in the upcoming election.
"You are no longer the future, you are the present," he told students.
