  1. I will be voting to keep Jenny, as well. Scott Criscione has posted some questionable material on his Twitter account, and I do not think his values align with those of our community.
    The posts include him in digital blackface and the use of the N word.
    Help spread the word!

  2. As a Ward 3 resident I will be voting for Jenny Schmidt. Jenny has been phenomenal on the city council, I knew her before she ran as a youth soccer coach for MRH Youth Sports, a MRH ECC PTO volunteer, and an engaged community member. I have gone to her over the past year with questions, concerns, and problems and she has always thoughtfully and diligently addressed them and acted as a true advocate and partner to myself as well as many other Ward 3 residents.

  3. I will be voting for Jenny in Ward 3 and offer a strong endorsement for Eleanor to my neighbors and friends in Ward 2. Both are brilliant and driven women who have proven their dedication to or community through engagement and collaboration between neighbors and the city. Jenny worked hard to accommodate folks on Marietta and Eleanor’s involvement on the Sustainability Commission and with community organizing is inspiring.
