Rejecting Issue 9 and supporting Issue 8: Issue 9 dilutes district power, retains citywide coalitions. Issue 8 ensures direct accountability, strengthens local representation.
In the November 3, 2026 election, we have two charter amendments on the ballot: Issue 8 and Issue 9. While both aim to reform the city council, Issue 9 is a sneaky way the current power structure is trying to dilute district power and retain their own. Let’s break it down.
Issue 8 gets rid of citywide voting for individual district council seats, setting up nine geographically elected representatives who are directly accountable to their district voters. This is all about strengthening local accountability.
Issue 9, on the other hand, keeps the same number of seats but mixes things up. It introduces district-only voting for nine seats while keeping citywide elections for four additional seats. This is a tricky one because it keeps the at-large seats, which historically have been bankrolled by rich and powerful interests. The concern is that Issue 9 is just a way to retain power by keeping citywide electoral coalitions.

Circumstances do not look good for insufferable county commissioner Erica Crawley.
Has she finally pissed off someone who wasn't "blue no matter who"? 🤔

In her own voice, in her own words, @marcykap torches any credibility she ever had with the LGBTQ community.
Acton, Kaptur, what is the next vulnerable community @ohdems will throw under the bus?
#OH09: Incumbent Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) is up on TV with this response spot --
Kaptur to camera:
"We're stuck in another unnecessary war and inflation is making everything worse. But, my opponent won't talk about all that. He'd rather lie about my record"
"Well, here's the truth. I voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools"

Candidate Quick Start Training
LPO needs energetic people to run for office! Libertarian elected officials get to make policy that reduces the scope of government and increases personal liberty.
We encourage first-timers to run for local offices in odd-numbered years. You must file a declaration of candidacy with your County Board of Elections, with completed petitions containing the number of signatures required for the office you are seeking.

The “Ohioans to Protect Public Services” coalition isn’t protecting you - it’s protecting its own racket. Here’s why their fear campaign collapses and how voluntary endowments can replace property-tax extortion with stable, consent-based funding for schools, safety, and services.

FTA/ a shiny new coalition calling itself “Ohioans to Protect Public Services” is warning that abolishing property taxes will cause chaos, higher sales/income taxes, and a “public safety crisis.” /
Don't fall for it.
Abolish Property Tax.
