• The plan
building a columbus that works for everyone IN every CORNER
Fix the Damn Schools
Right now, too many families leave Columbus when their kids reach kindergarten. Every neighborhood deserves a public school worth staying for.
Affordability
Nobody who grew up in Columbus or helped the City become what it is today should be priced out or pushed out of it.
Making Growth Work for Everyone
For many families, growth is coming at the expense of affordability and quality of life. That has to change.
A City Hall That Works for Working People
It is about time City Hall worked for regular folks. Permits, services, and public dollars should serve the people who pay for them.
