2021 Cincinnati City Council and Mayoral Candidates and the Women Who Inspire Them

The 2021 Election Day is just around the corner. On November 2, Cincinnatians will elect nine city council members to serve two-year terms and one mayor to serve a four-year term. In addition to city council and the mayoral race, voters will decide on Cincinnati Public School board, judges, and several ballot issues.

We reached out to all 35 Cincinnati City Council candidates and two mayoral candidates to ask the question: “Tell us about an influential woman in your life and how her influence will affect your approach to government.”

Women of Cincy believes that Cincinnatians do have the power to create a more equitable city, and your voice, your vote – matters. We hope their responses will allow you to connect with candidates on a very human level and spark an interest to dive deeper.

Women of Cincy is a nonpartisan organization. We encourage our readers to have open minds, make informed decisions, and be engaged in their community.

The candidates directly submitted the following answers with minimal grammatical editing by Women of Cincy. The City Council responses are listed in the order in which they were received.

Tell us about an influential woman in your life and how her influence will affect your approach to government.

The values and principles with which I approach my life and my public service have been shaped, more than anything else, by my mother’s never-ending dedication to supporting those around her.

She and my father took the risk of a lifetime when they left everything behind to come to the United States in search of a better life for their children. I can only imagine how drastic and upending this kind of change would be, but my mother’s bravery and empathy shone through every step of the way.

As I was growing up in Beavercreek, Ohio, there weren’t many people who looked like me, let alone role models. But my mother worked daily to teach me to look at the way things are, think about the way things could be, and participate in the process of creating change. It will be the honor of my life to carry her traditions forward as I work to help build a Cincinnati where anyone can create a rewarding life – no matter what they look like, where they’re from, or how much money they have.

I have the unspeakably good fortune to take on the journey of raising my own family with a partner, my wife Whitney, who shares my mother’s unflappable fearlessness, compassion, and selflessness. Seeing her fight every day to save lives as a doctor – and then come home with nothing but enthusiasm and love for our son Bodhi – is a constant reminder of the power that a nurturing support system can have.

When thinking of the influential women in my life, my sister Patricia Smitson is certainly one of note. Trish has stood by my side for decades. From fond family memories to this very campaign trail, Trish continues to be a mentor, voice of reason, and, as she has most recently put it, “cheer mom” for me.

Her tenacity while breaking the glass ceiling at Thompson Hine, where she became the first woman elected to the law firm’s executive committee, and then the partner in charge of the firm’s Cincinnati office; her compassion and empathy while serving as the CEO of the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region of the American Red Cross; and her service to the community as a member of the Port Authority are constant reminders of what truly makes a leader. Trish is determined, confident, and smart as a whip. Every day she pushes me to be the leader this city deserves, offering the love, support, and yes, even criticism that only a sister can provide. If elected mayor of Cincinnati, I will try my best to emulate her fierce yet balanced and level-headed passion while leading this city. To govern with compassion, reason, an open mind, and open heart are all lasting lessons that I have learned throughout my lifetime from my dear sister Trish. She means so much to Betsy and me in so many ways.

My wife, Michelle. She is my rock. She loves me. She supports me in this campaign. And she loves my little girls so deeply. She is my hero, and she is also a hero to so many because she is a SOCIAL WORKER! I want to acknowledge her and all of the social workers around this city. Your service is vital, and you are so appreciated.

She has seen firsthand the need for more affordable housing. She understands, much better than I do, the huge problem that the shortage of affordable housing is. Her work as a social worker has taken her into those very homes of people who are about to lose them for various reasons. She has seen their pain firsthand. She has come home sad, frustrated, and feeling helpless because the waitlists are so long and the homes so limited. I come from privilege, and I have never had to deal with housing insecurity. I certainly can’t imagine the stress that would cause. But I do know we need to do better.

The expectations I have for our city are very high, and I believe you should have very high expectations in your leadership.

For me, working for Cincinnati families, like yours, ridding our city hall of corruption, fighting to make a more prosperous Cincinnati, a more united Cincinnati, a better-educated Cincinnati, and a more peaceful Cincinnati, will never be just a job to me. It is my passion and my mission.

Judge Nadine Allen is one of my good friends and personal heroes. As the first Black female judge in Hamilton County, she is a groundbreaker. Her intention and objective have always been to do the right thing and to help her community. She views justice as something beautiful, something our society can and must consistently strive for. From her, I have learned to see everything that I do and everything that government does through a lens of equity and equality. I have always been inspired by her lessons and mentorship, and this led me to author the Resolution Declaring Racism a Public Health Crisis last year as county commissioner. I will continue to view everything I do through a lens of equity and equality as a city councilwoman.

My mother was born in Brooklyn in 1944, and I am from her second marriage (her having been a young widow). I did not know the abuse and struggles that she had faced in her youth until I was in my 20s – I did not know of the P.T.S.D., depression, and anxiety as she kept it all hidden. She instead created a happy and safe childhood for us and has been the most generous and thoughtful person that I know. I have learned that all people have a story, and we as fellow humans need to be better to each other and do better by each other. Social services and mental health care need more resources and support. As an elected leader, I will see myself as a public servant, putting people first, and will support measures and legislation that strives to lift people up. As a teacher, I see education as a way for our youth to access opportunities, and I hope to champion initiatives that help people.

My mother, Maribeth Patterson Tarbell, grew up in an environment that encouraged community involvement and taught that one person's actions can make a difference. She was very active in the League of Women Voters, president of the PTA, and managed a couple of city council campaigns. She possessed a sense of fairness and believed that every one of us has the right to live a safe and comfortable life. This influenced me and continues to resonate with me every day. It is this attitude that I will take to City Hall.

My first job out of law school was as a technical advisor to Hon. Helen W. Nies, a federal appellate judge. I spent two years working with her and learning from her. Her approach to life and her hard work ethic, combined with those same things I learned from my Mom (a feminist before the word was even popular), helped me to become the open, compassionate, honest man I am today. The Judge’s favorite saying was, “There is no problem, no matter how complicated, that cannot be made more complicated.” Her challenge to me was always to cut through the chatter and the noise to find the real problem and get to the real solution. Judge Nies was always pushing me to be my best, and to challenge what I heard, saw, or read. Critical thinking and analysis were a fundamental part of who she was. My two years with the Judge were the best two years of my professional life and left an indelible impression on me that success means bringing others with you, working with those who are at the heart of the issues, and challenging conventional wisdom. Unfortunately, Judge Nies passed away as the Olympic flame went out over the Atlanta Olympics. But what she taught me, and so many others who followed me at the court, burns the fire of truth and integrity within me to this day.

My paternal grandmother was born in a working-class household in Manchester, England, in 1904. She lived through two World Wars, aerial bombings, social unrest, and raised a successful family through these hard times. Her attitude to everything was, "Someone has to be the winner, so why not you?" Her counsel to me was always the same... she always believed I could win even when I had doubts. Over my life, her words have returned to me whenever a challenge appears. On the rugby field, as an engineer, as a community leader, and now as a city council candidate. I carry her strength and relentless optimism and resiliency with me as I work to serve Cincinnati and build what we all know is possible... Equitable, ethical, and economically successful.

Equitable access to city resources for everyone and high standards of behavior in City Hall are key to ensuring we are giving every member of the city a chance of success like my grandmother used to build in me. Cincinnati can't afford to limit opportunity for some. We need success to be a possibility for everyone to ensure we are the best we can be.

While I have been mostly raised by women (a single mother, seven aunts, and a grandmother) and have had the privilege of having a lot of non-male friends, my mother has easily been the most influential in my life. She put herself through school while raising me by herself and graduated with a degree in social work. We didn't struggle growing up, but she definitely lived paycheck to paycheck. It was at a young age that I realized how little money there is in helping people. My mother has worked as a social worker in the tri-state area for 26 years, doing almost everything one can do with a social work degree, from children services, drug rehabilitation, domestic violence, foster care, therapy, and even managed a home for developmentally delayed men. She has been shaped by guiding principles that helping others is the debt you pay for living on this planet. And I believe that wherever you exist on the spectrum of societal privilege (or lack thereof), it is your moral imperative to uplift and protect those more vulnerable than yourself.

Should I be elected to council, my priority will be making sure our city's budget serves in the interest of the working class and the most vulnerable, not just subsidizing corporate profits for developers and business interests. My ultimate goal will be to seek to potentially DOUBLE what our city currently spends on human services, which is only 1.3-1.5% of our overall budget.

The most influential woman in my life is my dearly departed grandmother, Marge Harris, whom I affectionately called Yea Yea. Yea Yea valued family and community deeply, and as a result, her home (the house in which I was raised) became a community space, a safe haven, and a gentle landing pad for those in our lives that encountered hard times. She fostered an environment that was encouraging, loving, fun, and supportive – and many people found the path to their best selves after spending time with her. The house she bought on the south side of Chicago in 1972 saved generations of family and friends from homelessness and provided a consistent and stable anchor for my family.

Her influence has made housing and investing in people a primary focus of my career and a primary policy focus of my campaign. I hope to take her encouraging, compassionate approach to city hall to solve some of the city's most pressing issues, especially affordable housing.

There have been a lot of women in my life who have influenced me. I will cut it down to the top three:

1. Marian Spencer – I was fortunate enough to get to know Mrs. Spencer through our joint service on the board of the Charter Committee of Greater Cincinnati. Mrs. Spencer had very strong opinions, but she had a way of expressing herself that allowed for her positions to be understood without angering people that disagreed with her position. Her work on desegregation has inspired me to fight for the rights of persons with disabilities.

2. My mom, Rosemary Flynn – My mom raised nine children and provided attention to each of us. I have tried to carry through her attention to detail and organization. For her, it was essential, and for me, it has helped to allow me to approach problems in a way that lends itself to solutions.

3. My wife, Peggy – Peggy is my rock and the love of my life. Since my injury, she has been the strength that I have needed, the partner I have always had, and the glue that has kept us all together.

My mother-in-law was one of the more influential women in my life who will influence my approach to government. Monica Bychowski Holmes left Poland with her parents in April 1940 before the Germans overtook eastern Poland. After a year's journey, she came to the U.S. and settled in New York. We're Jewish, so that context of her departure was an integral part of her worldview and the reason why engagement in government mattered. And our tie to relatives in Europe (my father is Dutch) is an integral part of our family. Monica was a Ph.D. in psychology and worked on aging issues in New York. But aside from the professional accomplishments, she was a highly opinionated woman informed by being well-read and versed in policy discussions. She also kept a copy of the U.S. Constitution by her bedside. Almost three years ago, she was hit by a car while crossing the street, but her influence remains strong.

She will affect my approach to government in a few ways. First, by engaging and listening. Monica always listened intently. A big part of the role of city council is listening – convening people to help solve problems. Second, by being informed to make data-based decisions. In a society that wants instant answers all the time, it's okay to sometimes say, "I need more data/information" not as an excuse for inaction but to make sure that the decision is informed. Third, once that input is gathered, then to have a bias for action to solve problems. The role of government is just that: to make life better for all in Cincinnati, especially those who do not have opportunity or where there is injustice. That deep sense of public service informed by data and listening, along with a collaborative leadership style, is what I will bring to Cincinnati City Council.

Pinkie M. Cook is my grandmother and one of the influential women who inspired me to update the tax abatement policy to be more inclusive of African Americans. She bought a home to provide a better life for my sister and me. However, redlining and additional loan interest on African Americans in Cincinnati affected location and price. In 2021, African Americans are still affected by redlining and high interest rates their family members were required to pay for homeownership. I plan on updating tax abatement to ensure more African Americans receive tax abatement for updates on previous owned and new homeownership.

While I have never met her personally, my political role model is Stacey Abrams. As the co-founder of the Greater Cincinnati Voter Collaborative, our goal was always to collaborate with community partners like the Urban League, the N.A.A.C.P., and the League of Women Voters, to expand voting access in our city. In her book, “Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America” she writes, “We are strongest when we see the most vulnerable in our society, bear witness to their struggles, and then work to create systems to make it better.” That is my motto. As an organizer, it is my passion and my life’s purpose to bear witness to the struggles in our society and to work – collaboratively and tirelessly – to make the world a better place together. We should always be asking ourselves, “Am I engaging with this community authentically?” That is the crux of civic engagement and has been the impetus of seeing myself in democracy. In all of my governance, that message will be at the forefront of my mind.

My mom, Myrtle Sutton, who passed away, was a big influence on me and how I grew up and see the world. She was a single mom raising me and my older sister, without finishing high school, and without a driver’s license, in the resort town of Southampton, New York. Yet, she went to work every day in a commercial laundry, standing on her feet in front of hot machines for six days a week, 8-10 hours a day. That job paid our rent in an upstairs apartment and put food on the table. My mom kept a meticulous house, to the point that she would wake me up in the summer and kick me out of bed so she could make it up before she left the house.

I learned about the importance of resilience, and how the lack of good public transportation can affect your life, and the need for housing that working-class folks can afford, even if surrounded by multi-million dollar homes. I watched my mother lift up folks and not be ashamed of being lifted up.

Regardless of all circumstances, she was always intentional, truthful, and accountable.

As a kid, I had a lot of free time, but our mother trusted us enough to do the right thing because she had shown us the path of truthfulness and accountability, which principles have guided me well from adolescence to adulthood and which will continue if I am elected to serve the city.

My mother has a big influence on me. She is so darn strong. She is an inspiration to never give up and keep fighting through the great times, good times, and bad times. My mother pushes me to fulfill my dreams, regardless of what that may be, as long as it's not illegal. What I learned from my mother to help me with my city council is to always care for each individual, just like family. Lead with peace, love and bring happiness and joy to everyone.

My mother is the first influential woman in my life because she showed me how to adapt and overcome and to listen when a lady is speaking. I was blessed to have both parents in my home. Still, my mother was the head of the house making all social and financial decisions for our family. At an early age, we learned to support those decisions as they were usually based on what was best for our family. Because of this, I am very comfortable with women in leadership roles. Beyond that, I am comfortable trusting the judgment and compassion of women to make positive decisions for the group, just like my mom did during my childhood.

An influential woman in my life is Julie Sellers, president of the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers. Julie spent many years in the classroom teaching Kindergarten before she became president, an elected position she has now held through seven elections over 13 years. The educators she represents appreciate her leadership and advocacy on their behalf because she brings her personal experience and passion for our city’s children to the table when she is collaborating on some of the toughest issues facing our public schools. When she works, she is not preoccupied with whether she gets credit or accolades. In fact, much of her work happens out of the public eye. I believe this is exactly the work ethic and humility we need more of in elected members of the City Council. The reason Julie has the respect of the teaching community and has earned re-election so many times is that she stays true to the needs of those she serves. Julie Sellers’ relentless, passionate service is an example of what motivates me to seek election and serve our city’s families at City Hall.

My mother is the most influential woman in my life. She raised me as a single parent and made sure that my quality of life was better than hers at all costs. My mom didn't get her license and start driving until about two years ago, so growing up, she took me everywhere on the bus or in a cab. She worked day in and day out so that days after my sixteenth birthday she was able to get me my first car. This was typical for her; she always wanted me to put me in a better situation.

In my role as a trustee for the East Westwood Improvement Association, I have taken this same approach and will continue to do so if granted the opportunity to serve on Cincinnati City Council. I want to put the youth in our city in a better situation. As a teen, I grew up around crime and poverty. I want to set them up and put them in a better situation to avoid the unnecessary trauma.

My mother, Stefanie Sunderland, introduced me to a life of service through her many years as a volunteer and activist. She was a founding member of C.N.C.U.R.C., a non-profit volunteer organization created to reverse the housing decline by increasing homeownership. My mom gained support from bipartisan government officials that led to the defeat of the Colerain Connector Project and the agreement to allow the land to return to the community. She wrote and was awarded a grant of $123,000 to create Badgeley Run Park and worked with the Cincinnati Park Board to transform 10 of the acres, a 50-year-old illegal dump site, into a beautiful park. She helped establish the Northside Court Watch, which became a paradigm of community input and tracking in the legal process for crimes committed in the community, and was among the first residents to participate in the Northside Citizens On Patrol. My mom was a member of the Community Problem Oriented Policing Team.

She was involved with the Multi-Neighborhood Housing Task Force, a coalition of ten neighborhoods that worked with city and state officials to establish ordinances intended to eliminate blighted housing conditions, protect tenants and homeowners and prosecute those involved in criminal investment activities. My mom never gives up, has a sense of community engagement and justice, and taught me to do the same. I was shown that anyone can make a positive contribution to their community. I hope to do this very thing if I am fortunate enough to serve on Cincinnati City Council.

The most influential woman in my life was my mother, who passed away in 2016. My mother, better known as Ms. J., fed and welcomed the entire community to our house. As a single mother of three, she raised my two sisters and me in a two-bedroom apartment with a bunk bed set up. It wasn't until I turned eight years old that we moved from low-income housing to affordable housing, in an effort to put her kids in a more comfortable three-bedroom apartment. Even though my mother dropped out of school in the eighth grade to care for my oldest sister, she ultimately went back to school and earned her G.E.D. She then went back to hair school in order to become a cosmetologist, and eventually, continuing on the path of hair, becoming a licensed cosmetologist instructor. My mother was a woman of faith, and I have personally watched her overcome life challenges. I am a man of faith, character, integrity, and discipline. Those same values and character traits, along with upholding integrity, will be my approach towards government policies.

One of the most influential women in my life was my sister, Dr. Norma Celeste Lemon. I lost my beautiful, smart, talented big sister and best friend when we were in our 20s, but I think about her every day. In fact, my daughter, Celeste, is named after her. Norma's values and influence have remained with me through the years. She was loving and giving, dedicated to serving her community, and never hesitant to reach out to those who needed help. She found beauty and talent in everyone and never said no when someone was in need. Norma tutored college students in math and organic chemistry and read to preschoolers. She volunteered at health clinics in low-income areas of the country and at soup kitchens. She studied many languages and cultures because she respected differences and found similarities across boundaries. As a member of the City Council, I interact with people in many roles across the city on a myriad of issues and encounter a range of viewpoints. When making decisions, I strive to be open to hearing and understanding those with whom I disagree, rather than only seeking affirmation of my viewpoint. In the end, I am more confident of my final decision or vote because I have allowed myself to consider and understand diverse options. The bottom line is that we can respect each other, acknowledge differences, and yet, find common ground.
