Raymond “Ray” Ku lives in Bainbridge
Township with his wife, Melissa, and two children, ages 4 and 2. He is
a Professor of Law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law
where he specializes in constitutional and intellectual property law,
and is Co-Director of the school’s Center for Law, Technology & the
Arts. Ray is the author of numerous scholarly articles and the author
of one of the leading textbooks on Cyberspace Law. He has been
interviewed by local and national media, and was nominated to the
Who's Who in Law Education.
Ray is the oldest of two children of Chinese immigrants who
immigrated to the United States with little more than the money in
their pockets. He was born and raised on Long Island, New York, where
he was an honor student, varsity soccer player, captain of the soccer
team, class president, captain of the moot court team, the New York
State Civil Law Moot Court champion, and performed in school and
community theater.
He graduated with Honors in Political Science at Brown
University where his undergraduate thesis on public school financing
was awarded a prize for the best thesis discussing the principles of
free government. In college, Ray was captain of the varsity fencing
team, squad captain, New England Men’s Saber Champion, and competed
twice in the NCAA fencing championships. He then graduated with honors
from New York University School of Law where he was a Leonard Boudin
First Amendment Fellow in the Arthur Garfield Hays Civil Liberties
Program. Throughout his school years, Ray worked various odd jobs
including grocery clerk, warehouse stock boy, file clerk, bartender,
and security shuttle driver.
After graduating from law school, Ray clerked for the
Honorable Timothy K. Lewis of the United States Court of Appeals for
the Third Circuit. He then practiced law in Washington, D.C., first
with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (where he worked with Theodore Olson,
former Assistant Attorney General to President Ronald Reagan and
subsequently Solicitor General to President George W. Bush). He then
practiced First Amendment law with the firm of Levine, Pierson,
Sullivan & Koch before becoming a professor.
In his spare time, Ray enjoys spending time with his family,
participating in practical pistol and 3-gun competitions, and golfing.
Our Neighborhoods...
Our Values
The 98th District, our district is blessed with some of the most
beautiful land and communities in the nation. The land is not there
for the enrichment of developers nor should the State enforce policies
that pit neighbor against neighbor. Growth and change are inevitable,
but they must be thoughtful, careful, and in harmony with our values.
There must be respect for local control and development must be fair
and done in cooperation with local communities and their residents.
State government can be a valuable partner with county and local
government and should never be their enemy.
Respect for local control and fair development means that:
－－The State must not strip local governments of their political
rights.
－－The State must not use eminent domain to force people to sell their
homes and property to benefit real estate developers and their
lawyers. Farms and woodlands are not blighted properties!
－－Developers must be stopped from using lawsuits to
destroy farms and longtime rural operations in order to increase the
value of new housing developments.
－－roperty taxes should be based on a property's purchase price rather
than assessed value. Just because our homes or land maybe worth more
if we sell them does not mean that we have more money in our pockets
to pay higher taxes.
－－Freeze the assessments of residents after a specified period of
time. People, especially those on fixed incomes, who have lived and
raised families in our communities, should not be forced to sell their
homes simply to pay increased property taxes.
In short, as the Representative of this district I would fairly
represent the interests of ALL of our residents, and not favor the
interests of a FEW who may not even live in the district.
Please check out some of the different sections of the site, as I have
included a lot of information regarding my stances on the issues and
how we can make the 98th District a better place to live. |
