Eva Braiman (1970-) was the gubernatorial candidate for the Socialist Workers Party in Ohio's2002 statewide election and mayoral candidate for the same organization in Cleveland's 2001 local election. A meatpacker by trade and former student at Binghampton University, she claims to have been attracted to workers' causes, the pith of the platform on which she ran in both contests, both through her vocational exposure to "a [socialist] fight in the political future of the United States" advocated by disillusioned coworkers and educational proximity to miners' and pilots' strikes in New York[1]. Her positions on national, not local, issues, including opposition to capital punishment and globalization, support for the Roe v. Wade decision, shorter work weeks for wage laborers, and universal health care, dominated the dialogue throughout both her forays into electioneering. Despite ostensible pockets of support around college campuses and her hometown Cleveland[2], her write-in status seems to have hampered her endeavor substantially, in her most recent race her efforts only producing 84 votes. 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday. ...

Braiman said she believes the frustrations of meatpackers are shared by workers in a range of industries being squeezed by the drive for productivity, including family farmers.
Braiman said she would also seek to put an end to police brutality, increase access to abortion facilities, end the death penalty and seek to block banks from foreclosing on property owned by farmers who cant repay money theyve borrowed.
Braiman, who is running for the office with Michael Fitzsimmons, a 42-year-old garment worker, said she chose to run as a write-in candidate because of the difficulty collecting the 5,000 signatures required to appear on Ohios official ballot.
