It's official! City Council has just legalized ADU's in Cincinnati. I am proud of this Council and City Administration for all of their hard work in making this happen
The legislation to allow Accessory Dwelling Units in Cincinnati passed out of committee today! One step closer to being the first major city in Ohio to legalize this type of housing. Thanks to everyone for their support in this effort!

Lead in our environment and drinking water is a real danger to public health. This news from GCWW marks important progress in the effort to remove all private LSLs by 2033.
GCWW is celebrating a milestone in improving public health! We replaced more than 1,600 lead lines during the past 12 months ending June 30. That’s a 28% increase over our previous one-year record. Find out if your property has a lead line. Click here -- shorturl.at/SSUbG
Today, City Council passed the FY26 budget. Here are a few key highlights I was proud to advocate for:


We’re hosting 2 public open house meetings to share info and get your feedback on transportation improvements to reduce roadway fatalities & serious injuries. Stop by: Weds, 6/25, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. – 7 p.m., at the Walnut Hills Library, 2533 Kemper Ln.
Today's Pride Flag raising showed Cincinnati’s commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive city for all. Regardless of our differences, everyone deserves to feel accepted and valued.



I'm excited to share our "City as a Lab" initiative, inviting companies to test new technologies in real-world environments. As part of this, we’ve partnered with Airtrek Robotics to use an autonomous robot to help keep Lunken’s runways cleaner and safer.


Big thanks to Ann Thompson for having me on the Brick by Brick podcast to discuss how everyday people can shape the future of their neighborhoods. Catch the episode on June 11!

I’m excited to share that a new traffic signal has been installed at Wasson Way and Montgomery Road near Xavier! This improvement will strengthen connectivity for trail users traveling between Avondale and Evanston, while also making the intersection safer for pedestrians.


In Budget, we allocated $500K to Green Umbrella for green workforce development, supporting our Green Cincinnati goal of training 4,000 individuals for green economy jobs by 2028. These funds will be used to provide employment training in energy efficiency and sustainability.


After safety concerns emerged at gov’t square last year, @IrisRoley pulled community members to greet kids getting off the bus - with a smile, hug, or water/sandwich. Results speak for themselves: ⬇️calls for service. Today I was honored to help the team & c the amazing work!
This morning, I had the honor of taking part in the first-ever raising of the Police Memorial Flag at City Hall. Thank you to CPD for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued commitment to the people of this great city.

Bike-To-Work Day (or anywhere) is Friday, May 16 — and Metro is celebrating with free rides for bus riders who bring a bike!
