Question 1:  What are your plans for promoting foreign investments and job creation in Akron?
My highest priority will be to promote job growth. We must seek 21st century jobs, and attract and retain the talent and technology employers need. We will compete for jobs globally, but most growth in employment occurs among businesses located in Akron, so they need a responsive, supportive city government.

Question 2:  Do you have specific ideas for the future of downtown?
Our downtown business district is the city’s principle employment center and its vibrancy – entertainment and the arts – depend on strong support from the city and community.  I will work with Downtown Akron Partnership, and engage young professional organizations to find creative solutions to further generate downtown business and culture.

Question 3:  How do you propose to improve the City of Akron’s financial outlook?
Fiscal responsibility is essential for the long-term future of our city. I will utilize better technology and my sound management skills to streamline operations and explore ways to balance the city’s budget. I will also analyze every system offering public services to ensure that taxpayers are getting their money’s worth.

Address: 1750 Olalla Ave, Akron 44305
Website: 

Education:  BA History The University of Akron
Training and Experience:  Ward 2 Councilman 2006-2014
Question 1:  Describe the most critical issue in your ward and how could it be solved?
High water and sewer bills. We have always relied on a "user pay" system. I don't believe we can continue to do that. Council needs to impose a moratorium on any further rate increases, and explore alternative solutions on how to pay for these unfunded EPA mandates.

Question 2:  How have your life experiences prepared you to represent your constituents?
As a ward Councilman I have handled thousands of neighborhood complaints. I also have a record of standing up regular people on Council. When I run for office I make an effort to talk to every single voter. If elected I can represent them and their neighborhoods.

Question 3:  What will you do to return civility to City Council in order to best serve your electorate?
To talk about issues and not about personalities. I will insist that the Council rules be strictly enforced. All comments must be addressed to the chair and not to other members. This will help cut out the bickering between individuals. I will also ignore uncivil behavior from others.

Training and Experience:  5+ Years Account Management Experience
 * Including fundraising efforts of NonProfit Organizations such as the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
Question 1:  Describe the most critical issue in your ward and how could it be solved?
One of the most critical issues in Ward 4 is the road conditions.  City Council has spent a lot of time/money investing in downtown, but Akron is more than downtown.  We all drive our cars, walk our dogs, or ride out bikes down these neighborhood streets.  We deserve better.

Question 2:  How have your life experiences prepared you to represent your constituents?
I was elected Class President every year in high school and it gave me practical knowledge at a young age working with dynamic groups to achieve a common goal.  I've carried that experience with me and worked hands-on with The Faith & Freedom Coalition, an organization focused on voter outreach.

Question 3:  What will you do to return civility to City Council in order to best serve your electorate?
I want to be on the forefront of a fresh outlook for our community.  In lieu of going to council with political alliances/agendas, my platform will be based on the ideas or concerns of my constituents. I pledge to support smart investments that benefit the City and Ward 4.

Training and Experience:  Business owner, community organizer and (3) terms on Akron City Council. On council I chair Technology and Park & Recreation committees,  serve on Housing, Planning, Public Service, Safety and Health and Social Service committees.
Question 1:  Describe the most critical issue in your ward and how could it be solved?
Foreclosed and abandoned properties.  This has a direct impact on the equity and value of homes in the Ward and taxes the city's services.  I have worked with the city & faith community to successfully rehab housing for families.  I have a proposal before the administration to expand the program.

Question 2:  How have your life experiences prepared you to represent your constituents?
Three terms on council and my ability to engage members of the community in the process of addressing challenges that face the ward and our city are what equip me to serve the residents of the ward 4.

Question 3:  What will you do to return civility to City Council in order to best serve your electorate?
One definition for civility is culture.  So, when asked about returning civility to city council I pause because the long standing culture on city council has not been healthy.   One can be civil and still ignore the needs of a community.  I will continue to respect my colleagues on council.

Training and Experience:  Worked in the legal field for over 18 years as in various roles; as legal office manager, administrative assistant, paralegal and bailiff.
Question 1:  Describe the most critical issue in your ward and how could it be solved?
Vacant homes. With the influx of abandoned homes in the ward it has decreased the value of the existing homes in the neighborhood as well as the quality of life. The hope is to rehab homes that are salvageable instead of razing them for families in need of housing.

Question 2:  How have your life experiences prepared you to represent your constituents?
My life experiences have educated, enriched and encouraged me to become and live the best I can, no matter how cruel, hard or dear or great its course has been.  As a young woman, I found myself raising a child when I was yet one myself.  I was not a exceeded word limit

Question 3:  What will you do to return civility to City Council in order to best serve your electorate?

Question 1:  Describe the most critical issue in your ward and how could it be solved?
Condition of most streets throughout the ward. It can be solved by appropriating more money in the Capital Budget to go towards them but it will also come at a cost in that some other projects will have to be put on hold.

Question 2:  How have your life experiences prepared you to represent your constituents?
My experience at Acme is invaluable. I always equate the residents in Ward 6 as my customers and bottom line in retail is to satisfy customers. I need to satisfy my constituents so they are comfortable having me represent them - their interests and concerns.

Question 3:  What will you do to return civility to City Council in order to best serve your electorate?
We had civility when we had trust in each other. The trust eroded when two Mayors resigned abruptly for different reasons and Council leadership allowed new and obscure definitions of Council Rules. We need to redefine the rules of procedure so there is meaning that doesn't allow interpretation.

Training and Experience:  Military, law enforcement, public/private/nonprofit sector
Question 1:   What do you see as the greatest challenge facing an Akron Public School student? And how do you plan to help this student meet that challenge?
We must provide challenging and engaging programs, safe environments, and the tools and resources needed to graduate and be successful. Oftentimes, the biggest challenges students face originate outside of school, such as poverty, homelessness, hunger and violence.  We must continue to cultivate partnerships that help our students overcome these challenges.

Question 2:  What one thing about your background or the way you would approach the job do you think is most important for the undecided voter to know?
Having grown up in poverty, with first-hand knowledge of the challenges many of our students face – such as poverty, homelessness, hunger and violence – I am in a unique position to advocate for our students.  I am a public school graduate and parent, deeply committed to, and involved in, our community.

Question 3:  What do you see as the most important issues for our district?
The most important issue facing our district is the ever-changing nature of state education policy and the affect on our district in terms of academic achievement, funding and enrollment.   We must attract and retain students while advocating for fair assessments of our students, staff and district, and equitable funding.

The most important issue for our distict is to establish and maintain a strong relationship among the students, faculty, staff, administration, parents, and community so that an atmosphere of collaboration is created to promote positive attitudes for learning.

Question 1:   What do you see as the greatest challenge facing an Akron Public School student? And how do you plan to help this student meet that challenge?
Graduation - APS has a 78% 4 year graduation rate. We need to continue improving this. I will continue promoting this to parents, and steering students towards career programs. In Akron 94% of students in one of our career programs graduate, and statewide 98% graduate high school.

Question 2:  What one thing about your background or the way you would approach the job do you think is most important for the undecided voter to know?
My financial background provides practical and educational insight to help stretch property tax dollars as far and as long as they will go. This focus facilitated the creation of a functioning Finance Committee.
 Re-Electing me will keep the focus on our funds going into classrooms.

Question 3:  What do you see as the most important issues for our district?
Enrollment - We have to offer the classes, opportunities, and safety our parents want and children deserve. If there is even a perception that these don't exist, we will lose families to other choices. We need to be smarter in our approach to enrollment, and continue to promote our successes.

Training and Experience:  Former Teacher; Started the Leap Frog Summer Reading Program.  Students earned 415% reading gains from pre to post test. I have toured and studied high performing inner-city schools around our state for three years.
Question 1:   What do you see as the greatest challenge facing an Akron Public School student? And how do you plan to help this student meet that challenge?
I have interviewed tens of APS teachers, principals, and counselors as I have gone door to door.  They are telling me that classroom management is our biggest challenge. We must change the culture in our schools so that order is established so that our teachers can refocus on teaching.

Question 2:  What one thing about your background or the way you would approach the job do you think is most important for the undecided voter to know?
I have spent thousands of hours studying high-performing, inner-city schools.  I have implemented some of their best practices here in Akron in my Leap Frog Summer Reading Program.  As a result, our students doubled their annual reading growth on average.  I will introduce these best practices to APS.

Question 3:  What do you see as the most important issues for our district?
Failing test scores and people leaving. Because our schools our failing academically, one out of three Akron residents are not choosing APS.  Many more are just moving out all together. To solve the problem, we need to put high performing magnet schools like Miller South on every side of town.

Education:  Law Degree, University of Akron; MBA, University of Akron; BS International Business including study abroad in India, University of Akron
Training and Experience:  President, Downtown Akron Partnership Emerging Leaders Board; Licensed and Practicing Attorney; Committee Member, Connect2Akron; Downtown Akron Neighborhood Champion, Akron2Akron; Past Chair, Downtown Akron Restaurant exceeds word limit
Question 1:   What do you see as the greatest challenge facing an Akron Public School student? And how do you plan to help this student meet that challenge?
Our students face a crisis of relevancy. When all students are taught is how to take tests that aren’t relevant to life after graduation, remaining engaged is hard. I aim to create internships and mentoring opportunities outside the classroom so students can experience Akron through businesses, government, and the arts.

Question 2:  What one thing about your background or the way you would approach the job do you think is most important for the undecided voter to know?
I’ve led several community projects including #LovetheWall and have an MBA and Law Degree, but what makes me stand out is my ability to see APS within the context of Akron’s larger economic development strategy. I’ll fight for a more valuable, relevant education that inspires students to stay after graduation.

Question 3:  What do you see as the most important issues for our district?
The budget. Republican officials continue to use public money to fund unaccountable, for-profit charters while Akron struggles to retain its tax base. The Board must plot a course for the future under these conditions while making sure the public sees what APS spends and what the charters take from it.

Jason Adams Age: 52
Occupation:
Judicial Attorney and Part-time Magistrate

Address: West Akron
Website: 
jasonadams4judge.com

Education:  University of Akron - B.A. Economics and Juris Doctorate
Training and Experience:  Former Summit County Assistant Prosecutor; Former private practice; Former small business owner; Currently Summit County Common Pleas Court Judicial Attorney (11 1/2 years) and part-time Magistrate (5 1/2 years) for Judge Christine Croce and Judge Judy Hunter (retired).
Question 1:  Please name a judge you admire and how that has influenced you as a jurist.
Judge Judy Hunter (now retired) and Judge Christine Croce have been positive role models. Also, Judge Brenda Unruh's (now deceased)deep compassion for victims and defendants (who are truly seeking the Court's intervention) alike is truly awe inspiring. 

Question 2:  Please describe a personal experience that has shaped your judicial philosophy?
No single personal experience applies, but rather, it has been a continuum of experiences/contact with the Judicial system - beginning as a young Assistant Prosecutor, then private practice, and finally my current positions.  Certain ideals apply - honesty, integrity, impartiality, tough but fair, and caring for the needs of others. 

Question 3:  In considering misdemeanor cases that involve mentally ill defendants, what approach do you believe is most effective for the parties involved?
As a past board member of the Tarry House, Inc. (residential treatment facility for adults with mental disabilities)in West Akron, I learned that mental illness does not discriminate. Fortunately, numerous governmental agencies provide a myriad of services to eligible misdemeanants through the Mental Health Court.

Assistant City Prosecutor (8 years)
Question 1:  Please name a judge you admire and how that has influenced you as a jurist.
On a local level, I have always admired the Honorable Carla D. Moore.  I admire the intelligence, fairness, empathy, respect, and sound legal reasoning that she brought to the Akron Municipal Court and the Ninth District Court of Appeals.  I believe I bring these same qualities to the Court.

Question 2:  Please describe a personal experience that has shaped your judicial philosophy?
With 26 years of experience in the Akron Municipal Court, I have witnessed the trauma some people experience in court.  Because of this I ensure that all parties are treated with respect, dignity, and fairness, and all decisions are based on rational legal principals.

Question 3:  In considering misdemeanor cases that involve mentally ill defendants, what approach do you believe is most effective for the parties involved?
I believe the most effective approach is to identify the illness as quickly as possible so that it can be properly addressed.  The Akron Municipal Court, in collaboration with local health care agencies, has numerous specialty courts (Mental Health Court; Valor Court, a veterans treatment court) to meet these needs.

STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES

STATE ISSUE 1:
Creates a bipartisan, public process for drawing legislative districts

(Proposed by Joint Resolution of the General Assembly)

Proposing to enact new Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of Article XI and to repeal Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 of Article XI of the Constitution of the State of Ohio.
 
A YES vote means approval of the constitutional amendment.
A NO vote means disapproval of the constitutional amendment.
A majority YES vote is required for the amendment to be adopted.
If approved, the proposed amendment will take effect immediately after Election Day.

League Explanation of Issue 1: Issue 1 would amend the Ohio Constitution to change the way state legislative districts (but not U.S. Congressional districts) are determined. Every 10 years, Ohio draws new legislative district lines based on changes in population as reported in U.S. Census data.  Issue 1 replaces the Apportionment Board with a bipartisan Ohio Redistricting Commission. If Issue 1 passes, members of the Commission will include:

The Governor
 Auditor of State
 
Ohio Secretary of State
 
Appointee by the Speaker of the Ohio House
Appointee by the President of the Ohio Senate

 
Appointee by the Minority Leader of Ohio House
Appointee by the Minority Leader of Ohio Senate 

The Ohio Redistricting Commission will be responsible for creating district maps for the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate. Issue 1 establishes rules for map-making. It ensures compactness and keeps communities together by prohibiting splitting governmental units, like counties or cities, unless necessary. Issue 1 prohibits partisan gerrymandering. No General Assembly map shall be drawn primarily to favor or disfavor a political party.  Issue 1 creates more transparent map-making by requiring public hearings. If the amendment is passed, it will become part of the constitution immediately; however, the new rules for drawing districts will not be applied until the next time districts are redrawn beginning January 1, 2021, after the next U.S. Census.            

Issue 1 encourages bipartisan map-making. For the maps to last ten years, at least two members of the minority party will have to vote in favor of it. If only one party supports a particular map, the district lines will only last four years. Map-making will be subjected to stricter criteria, including the requirement that the districts reflect the statewide partisan preferences of voters, sometimes called representational fairness.

PRO:

1. Prohibits partisan gerrymandering-- “No General Assembly district plan shall be drawn primarily to favor or disfavor a party” will be written into the rules in the Ohio Constitution.

2. Requires transparency and public hearings, encouraging accountability to the electorate.

3. Districts will better protect community cohesiveness by limiting government units such as counties and cities from being split.

4. Eliminates the continuation of previous gerrymandering by removing language from the current Ohio Constitution that requires new maps to be “reasonably consistent” with old maps.

CON:

1. Many Ohioans are not Republican or Democrat. Third parties and Independents are not represented on the Commission.

2.
Issue 1 does not address the process for determining U.S. Congressional districts.

3. The Ohio Redistricting Commission is not independent from legislators; legislative members can still influence the process.

4. Bipartisan Commission members can make “sweetheart deals” that can result in districts that are not representative of the state’s overall partisan preferences.
 

STATE ISSUE 2:
Anti-monopoly amendment; protects the initiative process from being used for personal economic benefit

 (Proposed by Joint Resolution of the General Assembly)

Proposing to amend Section 1e of Article II of the Constitution of the State of Ohio.

A YES vote means approval of the constitutional amendment.
A NO vote means disapproval of the constitutional amendment.
A majority YES vote is required for the amendment to be adopted.
If approved, the proposed amendment will take effect immediately after Election Day.

League Explanation of Issue 2: Issue 2 would prohibit an initiative petition amendment to the Ohio Constitution that would give special business rights to a certain person or entity. Specifically, Issue 2 would prohibit an initiative that creates a monopoly, cartel, or oligopoly; specifies or determines a tax rate; or confers a commercial interest, commercial right, or commercial license to any person or entity for the purpose of exclusively enriching its members and prohibiting others from engaging in similar enterprises.

If Issue 2 passes, the Ohio Ballot Board will be required to evaluate any proposed initiative petition to determine if it violates the prohibition above by creating a limited commercial interest. If such an initiative is proposed, the Ballot Board will be required to separate the proposed initiative into two parts – one part asking voters to override the limited business interest rule, and the second part describing the proposed new initiative – with both parts needing a majority vote for the initiative to pass. 

If both Issue 2 and Issue 3 are approved by the voters, it is unclear what will happen, because they would create conflicting sections within the state constitution. The Ohio Supreme Court will likely have to resolve the matter if both issues pass.

PRO:

1. Exclusive financial deals for special interests should not be enshrined in our state constitution.

2. The state constitution should be used to protect fundamental rights for all individuals, not cluttered with special interests.

3. Nineteen states have constitutional provisions banning monopolies and protecting free and fair commerce; Ohio should too.

CON:

1. The constitution should not be amended to interfere with the constitutional initiative process and block a measure approved by the voters.

2. The language is too vague and may unintentionally preclude future policy or tax issues from being brought forward as an initiative.

3. Issue 2 gives the Ballot Board too much discretion to declare a proposed initiative to be a monopoly and force it to jump through two hurdles instead of one.
 

STATE ISSUE 3:
Grants a monopoly for the commercial production and sale of marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes

(Proposed by Initiative Petition)

Proposing to add Section 12 of Article XV of the Constitution of the State of Ohio.

A YES vote means approval of the constitutional amendment.
A NO vote means disapproval of the constitutional amendment.
A majority YES vote is required for the amendment to be adopted.

If approved, the proposed amendment will take effect 30 days after Election Day.
 

League Explanation of Issue 3: Issue 3 has a two-fold objective:  (1) to legalize marijuana for personal and medical use and (2) to establish rules for growth and sales.

Growth and cultivation of marijuana will be limited to ten pre-determined, specific “grow sites” situated throughout the state. The ten sites already have designated investors. There will also be a number of pre-determined “quality control” sites throughout the state to test the product being cultivated. About 1,100 retail outlets will be allowed to sell marijuana, but they must buy it only from the ten specified sites and cannot develop their own supplies. 

Individuals may grow up to four plants and possess up to eight ounces of actual product at one time.  The four plants must also be bought from the ten specified wholesale grow sites. Under this initiative, individuals possessing or cultivating over 100 grams of marijuana would be committing a felony. Selling marijuana outside of the sanctioned outlets would also be a felony, with a possible sentence of up to one year in prison.

PRO:

1. Marijuana will, within the strict limits specified in the initiative, become legal to cultivate, use, and sell in Ohio for medicinal and personal use.

2. Issue 3 creates rules for a tightly controlled industry. The system of designated grow sites and quality control testing areas will ensure that the marijuana grown at these sites will address standards of public safety.

3.
Issue 3 will create tens of thousands of jobs in Ohio and will eventually generate millions of dollars in tax revenue to support local government services.

CON:

1. The state constitution should be used to protect the fundamental rights of all individuals, not to enshrine an extremely detailed plan creating exclusive financial deals for a group of special interest investors.

2. The initiative sets up an exclusive business scheme that eliminates competition to such an extent that independent business owners could be permanently locked out of what is projected to be a billion-dollar market and individual users who do not abide by the strict restrictions will still be subject to criminal penalties.

3. Issue 3 will flood Ohio with marijuana and marijuana-infused products, like candy and cookies, that put the public health and safety of Ohio’s adults and children in danger.
