Cincinnati City Council Puns

A message from Mr. Pantich is below.

-------

Hello r/Cincinnati and thank you for stopping by!

My name is Adam Pantich and I am running for City Council as an independent candidate looking to prioritize the well-being of Cincinnati and all residents over partisan goals or special interests, as well as, restore trust in local government through transparency. 2020 felt as though a curtain was thrown open shining light on the many issues with our current system. It is time politicians are held to a higher standard than the citizens they represent and bring logic back to governance.

As for my background, I was born and raised outside of Akron, Ohio, and grew up with an older brother and sister. Starting at a young age, I began working various jobs including a Produce Clerk at Acme Fresh Markets, and Curb Runner at Swensons which taught me the value of a good work ethic but also the realities that many working-class Americans face.

After graduating from Revere High School, I enlisted in the Army as an Infantryman and was stationed at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Washington D.C. as a member of The Old Guard. After I left the Army, I was recruited by a Cincinnati startup, focused on providing opportunities for flexible work. This role provided a wealth of experience and knowledge, as well as, revealed some of the issues people face with temporary employment.

My platform’s foundation is built on 6 pillars with the goal of improving the economic security and quality of life of all Cincinnati residents, while in turn investing in the future of our city. I also wanted to mention that I expand upon each of the below and other Issues & Possible Solutions on the website but feel free to ask any questions as well.

It is my hope to add to this list over time-based on speaking with you and other members of the community. Real change can only occur when all voices are taken into account via community engagement. At

From u/nickelsforcinci:

Hello Reddit long time lurker here, I came over in the Digg migration ten years ago…

I am a first time candidate running on a progressive platform. I feel partisan politics get in the way of progress and believe pragmatism combined with integrity will move Cincinnati in a positive direction.

A bit about myself: husband (Lindsay), father (Thatcher & Zelda), veteran (1-5 Cavalry, OIF), Xavier University alum (M. Ed), salesman (wine, cidré, sake), former restauranteur (Boca, Sotto, Metropole), former teacher (Cincinnati State + local HS’s), gardener, home cook, fitness enthusiast (especially burpees), reader, and would some day like to pick up the guitar that has been hanging on my wall neglected for too long.

My platform is about strengthening the middle class and lifting up those who need help. This means investing in education, incentivizing industries with a viable future to move to Cincinnati (green power), and stabilizing affordable housing throughout our fine city. Additionally, it is essential that Cincinnati decriminalizes poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, and drugs. I’d also love to see a citywide trail system that allows Cincinnatians a way to connect without roads (think of it like an expanded Wasson Way).

If you want to know more about me, or volunteer with my campaign, please visit me on Facebook|Instagram, Twitter, or right here on Reddit.
