Are there any YIMBYs on @bsky.app who could advise me on how to reply to this constituent?

Michael Green warns: “The anger you see on Twitter, the populism you see in the voting booth—it isn’t ‘vibes.’ It is the rational reaction of market participants who realize the game is rigged.” How will elites respond?

To be fair, the cost of participation in society has multiplied exponentially since the poverty line was arbitrarily defined as 3x the cost of food. Today’s poverty line doesn’t include housing, healthcare, transportation, childcare, etc.

Stow honors our Veterans. The Doughboy stands as Stow’s Sentry—representing all who defend our freedoms: www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/l... Daughters of the American Revolution will host a Wreaths Across America ceremony at Stow Cemetery on 12/13: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/167538...

Families in Stow and across America are breathing a sigh of relief that the government won't return to discriminating against gay couples who finally received the same legal, financial, and medical protections as other couples thanks to Obergefell.

For the first 11 days of November at 11am, a brief ceremony is held at Silver Lake’s Veterans Tribute Garden. Each day, after a brief reflection, 22 dog tags are added to the Witness Tree to represent the 22 Veterans we lose to suicide daily. Please remember to thank our Veterans for their service.🇺🇸

Thank you to everyone who helped Stuff the Ambulance outside Marc’s today — it overflowed! It’s heartwarming to see so many neighbors stepping up to help each other. Here are more ways you can help or apply for food support: StowOhio.org/612 ♥️💛 #HeartOfABulldog #StowOhio

Approximately 17% of Stow residents — 2,026 households — qualify for SNAP. The vast majority of SNAP recipients have jobs, but the inflating cost of food is hard to keep up with on top of everything else (housing, healthcare, etc). What kind of government lets people go hungry?

Fellow Stowians: If you know a neighbor in need of food, please advise them to call 211 for help accessing essential services. The City is working with many local volunteer-driven groups to help. Thank you to everyone giving time, talent, and treasure: StowOhio.org/612

lol anyway basically what happened here is that slate did a whole interview making me defend staying on twitter. so go read it, and then yell at me. or don’t read it and yell at me anyway slate.com/technology/2...

Condragulations to all the out local candidates across Ohio, and thank you to @thebuckeyeflame.com for reporting! Representation matters!

While I'm grateful our victory surpassed expectations, this race was about more than my re-election. Your voices and votes show Stow is a strong and welcoming community where neighbors collaborate as a team. Please stay engaged so we can strengthen Stow's civic muscles and build our future TOGETHER!

WE WON! Thank you to everyone who voted for Kim Young, Cyle Feldman, and me. We’re grateful for your support, and we’ll keep working with our Mayor John Pribonic, Law Director Drew Reilly, and the rest of Council and City Staff to keep moving Stow forward! #StowOhio ♥️💛

If you’re voting at Stow’s Safety Center or City Hall, come visit our NEW First Responders Memorial honoring Stow’s Police and Fire/EMS! #CelebrateStow #StowOhio ♥️💛🇺🇸

Polls are open NOW until 7:30pm! Please help make sure everyone remembers to vote TODAY!

Best wishes to all my fellow candidates! It takes guts to put yourself out there and run. Even if we may not agree on some issues, I appreciate our civil discourse and ability to campaign without personal attacks. We need more leaders at all levels to engage in good faith. ♥️💛

Happy Election Eve! Good talks with Stowians while running through the tape with our final lit drop for the Mayor’s Team. Thanks to everyone helping to get out the vote!

New: Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday, praising his campaign and offering to be a “sounding board” into the future. Shane Goldmacher scoops on the private 30-minute phone call www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/n...

My friends in Stow threw the most fun Halloween party. I have friends everywhere. #Andor

As Mayor John Pribonic and Councilwoman Kelly Coffey explain in this article, we expect #TheAMP to draw economic activity from our neighbors in addition to being a fun walkable community gathering space for Stow! #CelebrateStow

Voted early with my family. Please remind your friends and family to vote on Tuesday if they haven’t already!

I grew up in Stow, I’m a product of our community, and it’s the honor of my life to serve on Council. I’m running for re-election to renew my oath so I can use my skills and experiences to keep moving Stow forward. Please vote: HermanForStow.com

The @washingtonpost.com reported that the US Government has been documenting and covering up human rights violations committed at the expense of US taxpayers. Leaders from both parties lied to us and to the world in attempt to excuse Israeli war crimes. Where’s the accountability?

The unfinished star on my logo tells a story: Even if we fall short, we keep striving to improve. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made so far, but I’ll keep working to earn your votes so I can keep serving our community: HermanForStow.com. Please encourage your friends and family in Stow to VOTE! ♥️💛

Stow’s new Police Chief Heather Prusha was confirmed unanimously by Council. Residents are invited to her swearing-in: www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/l...

As the Spotlight reported earlier this year, Stow’s Zoning Code Rewrite could allow for the long-term redevelopment of a more walkable city center along 91 between 59 and Graham — with boutique shops and restaurants like residents have been wanting: www.stowmunroefalls.com/p/pictures-o...

I was raised and shaped by Stow’s values, and I hope we can keep striving to find common ground. ♥️💛 #UnityInCommUNITY #CelebrateStow #StowPride #StowOhio #BetterBulldog #HeartOfABulldog #BulldogForLife

I champion strong political values like justice and inclusion, but my focus on Stow City Council has been on local nonpartisan issues like health and safety, our local environment, and building our community with smart development: HermanForStow.com

Please VOTE to keep moving Stow forward with Mayor John Pribonic’s team! 💪🏻♥️💛

I'm proud that Business View Magazine highlighted Stow's culture of inclusion. Stow is an amazing place to live, work, and grow. Let’s keep making Stow a strong and welcoming City that works for everyone: businessviewmagazine.com/brochures/no... #CelebrateStow #StowPride #StowStrong #StowOhio

I am grateful for the endorsement of Stow’s Mayor John Pribonic. John’s vision and leadership have earned many wins for our City, and I’m proud to be part of the Mayor’s Team to keep moving Stow forward. Please VOTE! ♥️💛

An exciting opportunity made possible by Stow’s new Conservation Area could be to add a bike trail to connect it to the Veterans Trail that Stow and our neighbors are working on: tascforce.org/initial-project

Thank you to everyone supporting my re-election. It's been the honor of my life to serve on Stow City Council At-Large, and I'm proud of what we've accomplished so far: HermanForStow.com. Please encourage your neighbors to vote by Nov 4: www.boe.ohio.gov/summit/

I consider this 39-acre Conservation Area a team win because 6/7 Councilmembers voted for it: www.stowsunshineproject.com/post/wetland...

A long-term possibility Council talked about before creating Stow’s new Conservation Area around Mud Brook’s wetlands: Could we rails-to-trails the abandoned railroad line that crosses under Rt 8 and connect it to the Veterans Trail being built on the line from Hudson through Stow to Cuyahoga Falls?

The City of Stow partnered with the Western Reserve Land Conservancy to preserve 39 acres of wetlands and woods near Steels Corners at no cost to the City. This conservation area could become a future park. Learn more from @stowsunshine.bsky.social: www.stowsunshineproject.com/post/wetland...

Council voted to let voters vote on 2 of the 9 Charter Recommendations. I was the only member who attended both Town Hall meetings and voted to allow all 9 Amendments to proceed to the ballot. Thank you @stowsunshine.bsky.social for reporting:

After I was elected to Council, I completed my goal of running every street in Stow. It was a good way to get to know our neighborhoods better. Many of our streets still need sidewalks. Council increased funding for new sidewalks last year, and I want to keep building more.

Early Voting has started at the Summit County Board of Elections’ new location! Learn more or request an absentee ballot: boe.ohio.gov/summit

I’m running for re-election because I’m proud of the progress Stow has been making, and I want to help Mayor John Pribonic keep moving Stow forward: HermanForStow.com

I was asked about my top legislative priority at Candidates Night, so I talked about the comprehensive Zoning update our entire Council has been working on—which could help Stow develop a more walkable downtown like neighboring cities.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Should local elected officials be arrested for asking to see a warrant if their constituents are illegally detained?

Like many public servants, I swore an oath before God to uphold our Constitution. I join other Members of the Truman National Security Project to call on elected officials and public servants at all levels to stop weaponizing the U.S. Military against Civilians. POSSE COMITATUS

Thank you to The Spotlight for covering! As we discussed at CNP’s Candidates Night, our entire Council and Planning Commission have worked collaboratively on projects like the comprehensive zoning update. I’m proud of our progress: www.stowmunroefalls.com/p/stow-plann...

It’s a good time of year to get outside, enjoy Stow’s parks, and get to know each other as people. We should be able to find common ground. You can meet me at Silver Springs this Saturday and even get a beer with your Councilman: www.smfcommunity.org/craft-beer-f...

Wanna talk? Come find me THIS SATURDAY at Silver Springs 🍻

We all need to vote to show that our voices matter! Please help your neighbors register to vote BY OCTOBER 6 online at olvr.ohiosos.gov
