The problem is obvious.

As voters in Columbus, should we have a say in who represents Cleveland or Toledo in the Ohio state legislature?  Of course not.  Nor should Clintonville voters decide who represents Franklinton, the Hilltop or South Side on City Council.

The rigged system is working exactly as designed.

In Columbus, we have a rigged system, designed by those currently in office to ensure that big money and a small group of people control the future of our city.

Between elections, at-large voting makes it easier for big money donors like the Haslams and the Wexners have a louder voice at City Hall.

Meanwhile, the people living in each district are left without a real voice when we need it most. (Read more here.)

This is our city and we deserve a say. 

Every neighborhood should have someone at City Hall who wakes up every day focused on our communities.

If a councilmember isn’t delivering, we need to have real power to hold them accountable, and there’s a solution to take back our power.
