Mr. Republican

 

On November 12 the gallery at the Main Library downtown opened a new exhibit to honor the life and work of Toledoan James H. Brennan, Sr. (1926-2003). The exhibit, A Political Tribute to James H. Brennan, Sr. features a collection of writings, artifacts and photographs from the man known in Northwest Ohio as Mr. Republican. Mr. Brennan served on the Ottawa Hills Village Council, was the chairman of the Lucas County Republican Party multiple times, and served as Vice Chairman of George H.W. Bush’s Ohio Presidential campaign. He was also very active in other areas in the community including serving on the boards and commissions of the Toledo Rotary Club, The Salvation Army, Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio and St. Vincent’s Hospital among others, as well as president of the Toledo Opera Association. Visit the library to learn more about this dedicated and inspiring man.
