Co ChairRepresent Columbus Jan 2015 - Aug 2016Columbus, Ohio AreaCo-led a citizen's ballot initiative seeking to chance Columbus city charter to make the form of our city council more responsive to the needs of all its people and neighborhoods. Secured more than 30,000 petition signatures to place an issue on the ballot to change from an archaic 7 members elected at large, to 3 members at large and 10 elected by district (like every other big city government in the nation). While the initiative failed at the ballot, the issues of law and equity that we raised continue to be debated, and a broad consensus has emerged that Columbus needs to change to keep up with the time and our growing and increasingly diverse population. Continued the effort through a second ballot initiative (Everyday People for Positive Change), which again gained sufficient signatures to get to the ballot, pushing the city to advance Issue 3 to the May 2018 ballot where a ten district format was adopted.
