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

Thank you Carpenters Local 285 for endorsing me along with Drew Reilly and Kim Young. We recently visited the #NortheastOhio Carpenters Training Center and learned about their excellent career opportunities: ohcap.org

Thank you Ohio Environmental Council Action Fund for endorsing my re-election! During my term, Stow joined @poweracleanfuture.bsky.social and preserved nearly 40 acres of wetlands and woods! #CelebrateStow #StowOhio

Went to the Stow Historical Society’s Harvest Festival with my parents and got my annual photo-op churning apple butter.

Beautiful day running the Akron Marathon Relay and seeing so many friends and neighbors!

I was glad for the opportunity to meet Bryan Hambley, in Stow yesterday. I enjoyed hearing how he related his experience as a leukemia doctor to being the state's top elections official. Always happy to see more folks from the sciences take an interest in running for office! 🤓

Great event in Stow with Secretary of State Candidate @hambleyforohio.bsky.social. Learn more about Bryan and his plans to make Ohio’s elections more truly free and fair so voters have more power to hold politicians accountable and solve problems together: HambleyForOhio.com

Tonight Stow City Council approved a site plan for Vans Pizza to revitalize our old Sto-Kent Lanes with a new restaurant and bar, arcade, mini bowling lanes, and renovations to the mini-golf course and sand volleyball pit.

If “Pro-Democracy” means “Anti-Fascist” then a lot of us could be in trouble…

This Friday in Stow: Come meet @hambleyforohio.bsky.social and learn about his plans to make Ohio’s elections more truly free and fair: facebook.com/share/1DQR9hcCHo

Maybe I’m biased, but it used to feel like it would matter if the international community — especially close allies like the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia — asked us to “please stop aiding ethnic cleansing.” They’re our allies. Why would we still back the oppressor?

Busy day - judged a Best Trick contest with @kylehermanohio.bsky.social and re-opened our community rental facility, including a visit from our State Rep, Derrick Hall!

Learn more about Stow’s proposed Zoning Code Updates — like how Stow could allow a more walkable city center — and share your feedback: stow-oh-zoning-code-update-hlplanning.hub.arcgis.com

Come meet Secretary of State Candidate @hambleyforohio.bsky.social and enjoy some free pizza at Bellacino’s in Stow next Friday: www.facebook.com/share/16dvTo...

Local elections are important! Join us THIS SUNDAY to help get the word out:

WE NEED TO LEARN FROM HISTORY. On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard OPENED FIRE ON STUDENTS at Kent State University, killing 4 and wounding 9. Our National Guardsmen signed up to help civilians, not to be pitted against fellow Ohioans based on political pretexts.

I’m running for re-election because I want to keep making progress for Stow: HermanForStow.com

I hope as many Stow Citizens as possible participate in our democratic processes, regardless of who you vote for, but I would be honored to earn your votes. Please make sure you’re registered so you can exercise your rights and responsibilities: olvr.ohiosos.gov

Good advice for today. Be mindful who profits from pitting Americans against each other. And be mindful who is trying to keep our states united.

A tragic consequence of political violence is that the rush to assign blame and scapegoat groups of people can radicalize individuals to threaten further violence. Instead of dehumanizing people, we all have a responsibility to condemn violence no matter who it is by or against.

Thank you to my friends who've reached out to ask for yard signs now that they're popping up across Stow. More friends and supporters can request signs here: hermanforstow.com/home/request-a-sign

Thank you Stow Police Department! Stow Police are known throughout our region for their professionalism and positive relationships in our community: stowohio.org/ArchiveCente...

Thank you to the Keleman Family for honoring Megan’s legacy by advocating for #MegansWayOut to improve public safety in #StowOhio and other communities.

Tonight Stow City Council passed “Megan’s Way Out” in memory of Megan Keleman so future drive-thrus will have bypass lanes so vehicles aren’t trapped in case of emergency.

Political violence is unjustifiable. Cruelty can’t justify cruelty. A civil society should be able to resolve our differences at the ballot box instead of treating America like a battlefield. We need systemic reforms to reduce partisan polarization and rein in gun violence.

Bumping because some of these are on Council’s agenda for tomorrow: Megan’s Way Out, School Resource Officers, and the Charter Review Commission’s recommendations on establishing Independent Commissions for Ward Redistricting and #RankedChoiceVoting.

Join us for #OkSTOWberfest this Wednesday: hermanforstow.com/home/events

If we want to be representative, it’s important to check our biases.

Happy #LaborDay! I learned the importance of Unions firsthand while serving as a leader for @opeiu.org at NDI. Today in Stow and across America, we honor the progress of the Labor Movement by continuing the push to liberate workers and all people from systems of exploitation. #SolidarityForever

Stow’s Summer Sunset Blast is off to a strong start! stowohio.org/593/Summer-Sunset-Blast-2025

Save the Date: Stow Munroe Falls Democratic Club will host a free meet-and-greet with Secretary of State Candidate @hambleyforohio.bsky.social at Bellacino's on Friday September 26. Come meet Bryan and learn how he plans to care for Ohio: hambleyforohio.com

Thank you Justin Lepley for inviting me to speak at Northside Marketplace’s Pride Benefit Brunch to support Trans Joy Akron. We talked about how we didn’t choose for our identities to be politicized, but we will raise our voices and our votes through @ohdemspride.bsky.social to fight back.

Happy #Pride, #SummitCounty! I was proud to march with other #DemQueerElecteds for #AkronPride to represent the People of Stow to show that #StowOhio is a strong and welcoming city. A good day to represent @ohdemspride.bsky.social!

Chief Film has done an amazing job leading Stow Police to build strong relationships of trust throughout our community that help keep us safe. #CelebrateStow #StowOhio

Tonight in Stow:

To be a good person is to love your neighbor. To be a good democrat is to simply care about people.

Stow Cone’s special twist option this week is Orange and Maple, but I just went with Maple and it was very good. #CelebrateStow #StowCone #StowOhio

Couldn’t hide my #StowCone addiction from the family group chat 😅 #CelebrateStow #StowOhio

We must learn from history. By sending the Ohio National Guard to help Trump suppress peaceful protesters, Governor Mike DeWine is betraying Ohioans who said #NeverAgain after the #KentStateMassacre. Ohio’s National Guard Members didn’t sign up to be used so dangerously as political pawns.

Governor DeWine: Stop letting Trump abuse the Ohio National Guard. Trump’s generals warned he wants to shoot peaceful protesters. I protested in DC in 2020 when Trump mobilized the National Guard against us. Ohioans remember the danger when servicemembers were used as political pawns at Kent State.

We’re only halfway through August, but stores are already stocking up for #Oktoberfest because as the German song says: “September ist Oktoberfest!” RSVP for my campaign event to celebrate #StowOktoberfest with us on September 10: hermanforstow.com/home/events #CelebrateStow #StowOhio

In today’s Akron Beacon Journal our Executive Director Denise Riley defends Ohio cities’ powers of local self-government from the Ohio Senate’s attacks against cities’ constitutional #HomeRule authority like the #RankedChoiceVoting Ban Bill #SB63:

Big meeting tomorrow! Public comments welcome! Thank you @stowsunshine.bsky.social for reporting:

Morning Briefing: Members of Blood Tribe, the neo-Nazi White Supremacist group, staged a protest on the steps of the New Hampshire State House.

The Truman Project warns against ethnic cleansing: “A growing number of credible, independent entities, including Israeli organizations, have reached findings that the Israeli government is carrying out war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.”

Beautiful day at the Stow Farmers Market seeing friends from community service groups like Bulldog Bags and buying fresh baked goods and produce — like jam from Call’s Farm! #CelebrateStow #StowOhio ♥️💛
