Meet Sue Durichko an Unconventional Candidate Making Waves
In a word—quirky. Someone you’d never expect to run for an Ohio Senate seat.
So who is Sue Durichko? To her three kids, she’s ‘Mom.’ To her husband, she’s the love of his life. But to us average folks? Watching her talk, you see a determination in her eyes. Her plain-spoken manner reveals an innate intelligence—not the ‘I’m smarter than you’ kind, but the kind where she truly sees and understands people. She’s one of the rare few who seeks to listen and learn rather than instruct.
The Unconventional Candidate
Sue doesn’t watch television or drink wine. Don’t even try bringing up ‘The Real Housewives’ or ‘The Masked Singer’ with her. A chat about sports teams will only lead to a blank stare. But mention current events or happenings in Columbus, and you’d better not have any early morning plans—seriously, don’t expect to be in bed before midnight.
What truly stands out about Sue is her compassion, and it’s unmistakably genuine. It stems from having walked in our shoes, from her days as a single mother juggling medical bills, college, and caring for her son. Her empathy was further shaped by her 15 years as a nurse, listening to and understanding the struggles of Ohioans from all walks of life. She gets it because she lived it.
Career and Accomplishments
Sue’s professional accomplishments extend beyond her impressive career in nursing. Over 15 years, she climbed the ranks and now plays a pivotal role on the Executive Team at Randall Residence, operating across Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. Despite these achievements, Sue remains modest. For her, the focus is always on the community and addressing the challenges facing Ohio families.
In addition to her healthcare background, Sue has dedicated herself to public service in Parma Heights. She spent five years actively involved in The Charter Review, Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), and various committees, contributing her insights and leadership. Her commitment to her community didn’t stop there; she served as a City Councilwoman at Large, where she applied her nursing principles of care and empathy to serve the broader community effectively.
Beyond her professional and political endeavors, Sue has a strong history of volunteerism. She has made meaningful contributions at Camp Cheerful, enhancing the lives of children with special needs. Furthermore, her role on the Advisory Board at Cuyahoga Valley Career Center (CVCC) highlights her commitment to educational advancement and community support.
Sue Durichko: Beyond Politics
For those seeking a typical politician, Sue will be a disappointment. Nothing about her screams ‘politician.’ She’s authentic, relatable, and lacks the ‘ick’ factor—that feeling you get when a politician with a cheesy smile kisses babies but can’t stand kids, or says one thing and does another.
In a political landscape often marked by artifice and self-interest, Sue Durichko offers a breath of fresh air. Her journey from a single mother and nurse to a potential Ohio Senate member is a testament to her resilience and commitment to the community. In a world where politicians often don the ‘ick’ factor like a second skin, Sue stands out for her authenticity and relatability. As voters ponder their choices, they might ask themselves: Is the change we seek in politics found not in polished rhetoric but in the earnest dedication of someone like Sue Durichko?
