We set out to establish a new, transparent process. Iβm very grateful to my colleagues + those who engaged in this new way of filling a vacancy.
I hope this becomes the norm in the future: public, transparent, and based on shared values + the qualities of a successful lawmaker.
Today, we launched a new transparent and public process to fill the open seat on Council. Cincinnati deserves a leader who shares our values: a commitment to core services, to our children and families, especially those most marginalized, and a healthy culture at City Hall.
Hereβs the timeline:
Today - Applications open
11/27 @ Midnight - Applications due
11/29 - Council provides input on values/experience theyβre looking for
Week of 12/5 - Announcement of apointee
12/28 - Appointee swearing-in
Yesterday, Council unanimously approved extra pay for our police recruits, an investment Iβve been fighting for. This will help boost recruitment and keep our neighborhoods safe. https://t.co/MbcrAkwZl1
This morning the administration and Mayor announced our carryover budget, which prioritizes public safety, housing, our pension, capital investments, neighborhood projects, our savings, and pedestrian safety.
Presentations in B&F begin Monday.

A council member recently told me, "I don't really like fall."
I won't reveal their identity because it may have a significant impact on the next council election.
Anyway, happy first day of fall (and more importantly, happy hobbit day)

Grabbed lunch from Lucky Dog and picked up some merch from @CincyShirts today. Stop by our terrific Main Street businesses and show them some π this week. ππ» for your leadership on this, @AftabPureval.
The gun violence last night is terrible and weβre going to get it out of our city. Iβm grateful that everyone is expected to survive. @CincyPD did a tremendous job. Now, theyβll do what they do best: problem solve with the community to make sure this doesnβt happen again.
This morning, we highlighted new investments in youth jobs and career pathways.
How we invest in young people says a lot about us as a city.
More to do but we are on the right "path". ππ»π
REMINDER: Tonight is #NationalNightOut
National Night Out takes place annually on the first Tuesday in August and enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement, while bringing back a true sense of community.
We'd love to see your photos from tonight's NNO!
I am *legitimately* excited for what I believe will be the City's largest Chipotle in my neighborhood of Mt. Washington. It will be a great day.π―π―
Hearing misinformation and confusion in Council chambers today: @GregLandsman has been touting an Chipotle in Mt. Washington that will allegedly be the city's largest.
Today, in Landsman's absence, that report has grown to "world's largest Chipotle"
Glad I didn't skip this mtg
