I worked so hard to campaign against 4yr terms for council. It was sold to the public as a way for politicians to get things done. Last year my team collected signatures & pressured council to place 2 year terms on the ballot & it passed. In 2021 council will only get 2 yrs.

I will be introducing legislation to temporarily suspend operations of the streetcar. Disruptions in our budget will require difficult decisions to be made. We MUST prioritize our core services and city workers!

I’ve requested the City Solicitor draft a CHARTER AMENDMENT to prohibit any future City Council from using public dollars to defend themselves after breaking OH OPEN MEETING Laws & require annual training. “The $176,000 bill from the “Gang of 5” should not be paid by tax payers.”

Now members of council who sold the $150M ($94M debt)3 1/2 mile streetcar to Cincy voters w/ ridership projections of 4000 per day paying $1.65 per ride & those who “flip flopped” are now using the words “problem solvers”. Tax Payers are throwing more $ at a bad idea! “Free”

I keep hearing the sentence below louder & louder: “My business can not handle this economic shutdown & soon I will not reopen.” CINCINNATI must reopen & I trust our businesses will follow health protocols like social distancing & cleaning. However ZERO revenue is unsustainable.

I live near my Mom. We have been following the 6ft social distance policy for 7 weeks. It was nice to see my Mom out on a walk getting some sun. I know I am so blessed to still have my ❤️Mom. Keep following social distance rules to keep ALL of us safe. ❤️🌈 🙏🏽

I plan to openly discuss institutional racism in Cincinnati on many platforms. It will give an opportunity to see if Cincinnati is ready to have real discussions. Conversations about race are hard. It starts w truth. It starts with listening. It starts w not being silent. Ready?

Voters should reject any candidate running for Mayor that has been involved in any form of corruption. This should be a non-partisan value. The primary election for Mayor is May 4, 2021.

The most important job in my life is being a FATHER. I study different styles of parenting & actively talk w/ families about what works. Every child is so different. What parenting style works on one child might not work on the others. I have found one key is unconditional ❤️. 🌈
