Columbus Native & City Council President | “We don’t serve to get elected; We get elected to serve.”
Columbus, Ohio
Joined February 2009
With the Obergefell v. Hodges precedent reaffirmed and same-sex marriage once again settled as law, we're reminded that progress can't be taken for granted: it must be protected. History has shown us that our work is never done. Love won, but vigilance guards that win.

New ICE agents get a $50k signing bonus and $60k debt forgiveness. Imagine how much safer our cities could be if the feds shared a fraction of that with us to hire more police, offer housing & treatment for the homeless, and employ social workers to intervene with truant youth.

Coming soon to the Hilltop: a new @ColumbusPolice substation intentionally designed for officer-community collaboration. It is an investment in community safety, and a place where police and neighbors work together to make the Hilltop stronger, safer and more united.

I’m working with our Municipal Court Clerk and state lawmakers to stop this nonsense. Enough is enough. We need laws that protect people — not fund broken local governments.
