GCC Voter Guide

Mon, Nov 01, 2021

On the evening of October 7^th, Cleveland residents shared moving testimonials about issues that keep them awake at night – the state of their neighborhoods, gun violence and the criminalization of mental health and addiction disease. They turned and faced the Cleveland mayoral candidates Justin Bibb and Kevin Kelley, asking whether they would act on those issues if elected mayor. We have collected their responses in this Voter Guide for you to review as you head to the polls THIS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2.
