I am officially announcing my candidacy for the position of Mayor of the City of Cincinnati in 2025.
Weeks ago, my flight touched down at CVG, returning home from the most monumental inauguration in my generation. When I landed, I knew the city where my family and I live and love cannot fall behind in the critical years ahead.
Many have told me “Get ready. They will come after you.” I’m not sure who “they” are or if "they" are seeing this, but my heart is simply this…. To provide a choice to the people of Cincinnati. A choice to see years of prosperity, growth, and joy in our amazing downtown. A population should never be complacent with how things are. They should have the choice to decide their own future.
We will unveil more details in the future about the campaign. For now, if you want to be involved…
STEP 1: We need 500-1000 signatures from registered Cincinnati voters. If you would like to add your name to the petition, I will be at King‘s Arms Coffee (1900 Baymiller) in the West End of Cincinnati, 8am-3pm, this week collecting signatures.
Wow, WBC final did not disappoint. Yes it was 3.5+hrs, but every pitch was climactic, and couldn’t have scripted a better ending with Trout vs Ohtani. Great for the game.
