O'Neill steps down from bench, into congressional race

It's official. William O'Neill is no longer an appeals court judge. Now, he's a Democratic candidate for Congress in the district currently represented by Republican Steve LaTourette.
The South Russell attorney limited his fundraising during past unsuccessful campaigns for Ohio Supreme Court because he felt it was inappropriate for judges to seek large amounts of campaign cash. For this race, that stance has been abandoned.
"I plan to raise the funds to wage a strong campaign," O'Neill said in a press release that announced he's filed candidacy paperwork at the Federal Elections Commission and launched a campaign web site at www.oneill08.com. "I plan to aggressively challenge the decisions that Steve LaTourette has made, which I believe have truly hurt our district. And most importantly, I plan to win."
Although O'Neill stepped down from his post on Ohio's 11th District Court of Appeals three days ago, he has retained his other job as a registered nurse in the Pediatric Emergency Department of Hillcrest Hospital.
