Nothing like Christmas in the Land! I hope it's magical, Cleveland.

This is why we created the Residents First program, so the city can step in & turn problem properties into places that provide quality, affordable housing that anchors neighborhoods. We know Cleveland best, so we need Fannie Mae to step aside. www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-n...

Thank you! We are so excited about this portal and how it's going to streamline the permitting process in our city!

On the first night of Hanukkah, innocent lives were taken in an antisemitic attack in Australia. To Cleveland’s Jewish community—your pain is felt here. We stand with you. We choose light over hate. Always.

In Cleveland, we stepped up with “A Home for Every Neighbor” to help unhoused people maintain a stable home - but we need the federal government to do its part, too. Congress cannot let HUD leave people out in the cold while so many struggle to afford the basics. www.usmayors.org/2025/12/10/n...

I'm also frustrated with the city's antiquated permitting process, but change is coming. Tomorrow, we launch Cleveland’s new Permit Portal — a more transparent, user-friendly navigation system that finally brings us into the modern era. www.crainscleveland.com/real-estate/...

Grateful to all the champions who had a vision for this project and saw it through. In just a few short years, seniors and families will benefit from 112 units of affordable housing in a one-of-a-kind building that honors the neighborhood’s past. www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-n...

We know hardship didn’t suddenly end when the government shut down finally did. That’s why we’re giving Clevelanders who need it more time to pay their water and utility bills. Please reach out to the appropriate department if you need help getting on a payment plan.

This is what #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities is about: breaking barriers. The Chore program has helped seniors & people with disabilities complete household tasks for several years. Now we’re piloting snow shoveling! Grateful to our volunteers! www.ideastream.org/community/20...

Grateful for Council President Griffin's leadership & @clecitycouncil.bsky.social partnership in closing this difficult chapter. The $100M agreement with the Browns protects taxpayers, clears long-standing obstacles, & finally positions our lakefront to be the world-class asset Clevelanders deserve.

Returning our Emergency Medical Services to full staffing has been one of my top safety priorities -- and we’ve met it. That means more ambulances on the street, quicker response times, and a safer city for everyone. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/11...

I’m Grateful to call Cleveland my hometown, and even more grateful that I get to serve this great city as mayor. Because as mayor, I get to meet thousands of Clevelanders who inspire me with their kindness and ingenuity – and I’m grateful for each and every one of you! Enjoy Thanksgiving, Cleveland!

Today I joined a coalition of leaders who are signing onto the Building Brighter Futures Plan. We know it won't be easy, but it's the right thing to do to make sure CMSD has the resources it needs to give every scholar the opportunities they deserve.

We’re announcing a 30-day pause on all Cleveland utility disconnections. With the govt. shut down and SNAP benefits delayed, we want families to have some breathing room. This pause is about stability, compassion, and making sure no one loses essential services.

Thank you, Cleveland!

Cleveland! The polls are open today at 6:30 a.m. If you haven't voted yet, get out there and cast your ballot! Look up your polling location here ➡️bit.ly/MyVotePlace

Making sure people have enough to eat shouldn't be political. With SNAP set to run out tomorrow, we worked with @cuyahogacounty.bsky.social, @repshontelbrown.bsky.social, The Cleveland Foundation & others to get emergency funds to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. www.wkyc.com/video/news/l...

From now on in Cleveland, employers don't hold all the cards in the hiring process. We've taken a huge step forward in making sure working people get the pay they deserve. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/10...

The Cleveland Era extends well beyond downtown. We’re making sure it reaches into every neighborhood, especially the places that were too often blocked from prosperity and investment. That’s what the Southeast Side Promise is all about. www.wkyc.com/article/news...

Before I took office, outdated systems got in the way of our ability to serve residents. I felt – and still feel – a lot of urgency about modernizing city government. Because with effective and efficient systems, we can do more for people and do it better. www.axios.com/local/clevel...

Deeply appreciate the words of encouragement from the Plain Dealer Editorial Board. I'm proud of what we've accomplished so far, but I know that our work isn’t done. www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

Grateful for Gov. DeWine's partnership. Building safer communities requires collaboration and creativity. That means both working with grassroots groups to reach at-risk youth AND partnering with state law enforcement to get illegal weapons off the street. www.wkyc.com/article/news...

Proud of this young lady. Allison is proof of the unlimited potential of our young people. 👏🏿💫https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/cleveland/cleveland-student-allison-hero-award-saving-toddler-louisa-may-alcott/95-dbb6a13a-c4a7-48b0-91d9-3de2ed5f1cd5

Welcome aboard Carey! Cleveland will always remain a city that's committed to being welcoming and tolerant to all people, regardless of their gender or who they love. Looking forward to working with you to make sure we stay true to our values. signalcleveland.org/cleveland-no...

The County Board of Elections is open for early voting! It's easy and convenient. Check here and find a time that works for you!⬇️ boe.cuyahogacounty.gov/voters/vote-...

This is great news. Glad to see the Southeast Side Promise living up to its name. www.crainscleveland.com/real-estate/...

Thinking of Greater Cleveland’s many federal and workers their families today. I want to remind everyone about the rapid response hub we created earlier this year. We will get through this together. clevelandohio.gov/news/mayor-b...

Sometimes breaking what might seem like a small barrier can create a big opportunity. The Greater Cleveland Works team is thinking outside the box and finding ways to make sure more people share in the prosperity we're creating. signalcleveland.org/cleveland-wo...

Appreciate this op-ed by Pastor Napoleon Harris. It’s important to celebrate good things happening in Cleveland & all cities. Especially as some try to spread false, fear-based narratives. Proud of the work we’ve done to make Cleveland safer for everyone! www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

@everytown.bsky.social's endorsement means a lot to me. I'm proud that we've seen a decrease in gun violence during my administration. I'll keep on working to make Cleveland safe for everyone - no exceptions. www.everytown.org/press/everyt...

Can't wait to welcome the Special Olympics to the Land and show their athletes all the love and support Cleveland has to offer! More evidence that we are in the #ClevelandEra. 🔥 www.cleveland.com/news/2025/09...

@peoplefor.bsky.social have been on the frontlines of making the promise of "liberty and justice for all" real. Honored to have their support. www.peoplefor.org/people-ameri...

My grandparents and parents belonged unions. I owe a lot to the labor movement. I'm proud of the work we've done to improve conditions for working people in Cleveland - raising wages, improving transparency, & cracking down on wage theft. And more to come. signalcleveland.org/how-clevelan...

Mary Rose Oakar served Cleveland and this country with courage and compassion. As our city’s own trailblazer—first Democratic woman from Ohio in the U.S. House, advocate for women’s health, seniors, and our waterfront—her legacy lifts us up. Rest in power.

Gathered with Team Bibb today to launch our re-election campaign where it began: the Southeast Side. A lot has changed since 2021, but I am still committed to improving safety, keeping neighborhoods strong, & creating good jobs. Grateful for our community. We rise together.

When I said Cleveland Can't Wait, I meant it. When voters agreed with me, I knew we had to get started right away. We have done so much together, but we are not done yet. I invite you to join us and keep the momentum going. #RightLeaderRealResults

Congratulations to all the candidates who made it through to the general election. I also want to express my admiration for everyone who threw their hat in the ring. Running for office is fundamentally a hopeful act. Thank you for working to make our city better.

Mama Bibb and I voted today. ✔️✔️ You can, too! Early voting is open at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections until 7:30 p.m., tomorrow 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m., & Sunday 1:00 p.m. to 5 p.m. Vote early or vote Tuesday on Election Day, just make a plan to vote!💪🏿 boe.cuyahogacounty.gov/voters/vote-...

When our safety nets are under attack, local leaders have to find ways to stand in the gap. Grateful to MetroHealth for establishing these new school-based health centers to help take care of our kids. signalcleveland.org/new-health-c...

Mayors know how to keep our cities safe. We’ve been working with our communities to make our neighborhoods stronger & more secure. Sending the National Guard to our cities stokes fear & undermines the community trust we’ve worked hard to build.

“When I ran for mayor, the establishment told me to wait my turn. We’re impatient…because we’ve experienced the crises firsthand.” — RFS alum @justinmbibb.bsky.social That impatience? It’s leadership. And it’s exactly why we need more young voices in office.

My first campaign slogan was Cleveland Can't Wait. My generation can't wait, either. We've inherited recessions, a pandemic, a climate crisis, and out of control gun violence -- and we're impatient about finding solutions. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Great news! A victory for tenants and a victory for our neighborhoods. www.cleveland.com/metro/2025/0...

Thinking of the Minneapolis school shooting victims today. What makes this even harder to take is knowing that we do not have to live this way. It's a policy choice. As long as politicians in DC & Columbus prioritize the gun lobby over people – these horrific events will continue.

DMA President Mayor @justinmbibb.bsky.social: “Instead of defunding programs that keep our cities safe and secure, we need a President in the White House who's going to partner with America's Mayors to keep our cities safe, and the National Guard is not the answer.”

Cleveland's Fair Wage Board was dormant for two decades. But now working people need all the protection they can get. Proud to work with labor, faith leaders, and City Council to bring this board back to life. #FairWages #UnionStrong

Today, we recognize #WomensEqualityDay – 105 years after women finally got the right to vote in this country. It’s worth remembering that this right wasn't given. It was courageously demanded by groups like the Cleveland Woman’s Suffrage Party. And now it’s on all of us to defend it.

More exciting progress on our waterfront. Grateful for the leadership of Cleveland Metro Parks -- one of the best regional park systems in the country! #ClevelandEra www.cleveland.com/news/2025/08...
