My heart sunk a little when I heard Eddie Sipplen decided to have Steve Albrecht to be his campaign manager. I really thought Eddie had a campaign manager who was really awesome. If you don’t know, St
I have gotten to talk to a lot of homeless on this path to being mayor. These people, often forgotten or looked over, are intensely passionate about the City of Akron and it’s representatives. You mig
I was asked a few weeks ago to participate on a panel about the arts in Akron. I was really excited about that because I have a close relationship with the arts in Akron. I spent all my high school ye
You can’t stand on a street in Akron without meeting a homeless person. As I’ve been doing my signatures I’ve gotten to talk to a lot of homeless people. These conversations are the best part of runni
This trip to the West has shaped me more than anything I can think of recently in my life. I’ve been trying to find the words to describe what I’m feeling. The word I keep coming back to is: Greatness
Frank Comunale has officially left the race. You now have 2 candidates for the Democratic primary. Dan Horrigan – the puppet of the 30 year old Dynasty of greed and corruption that won’t let go of Akr
Life. Liberty (freedom). And the pursuit of happiness. It’s very interesting that those three things are presented in that order. You can’t have one without the one before it. With all my heart, I bel
I wish so much you could see what I’ve seen the last couple weeks. Yellowstone, The Black Hills, The Badlands. These are places that defy explanation. No words or pictures tell the story of actually b
I saw someone on Facebook say they were going to decide who to vote for Akron mayor by looking at things like: Who he is married to. How his kids behave and do in school. Where he grew up. Where he we
As mayor I will definitely continue this daily storytelling of the journey as mayor. I believe very strongly that elected office is a deep privilege that deserves a deep commitment to the whole commun
I can’t remember the last time I didn’t vote for a Democrat. There were many elections I just voted down the party line. But for the Akron mayor election I’m telling you this: Don’t vote for a Democra
I think you would have to be pretty tone deaf to not feel how lucky you are to get to spend time in places like: Yellowstone National Park Disney World The Outer Banks Naples Florida The Bahamas Hawai
I got the opportunity, for the first time in my life, to see Mount Rushmore. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt. It’s definitely worth experiencing. Actually, any national monuments are impress
For 15 years of my adult life I’ve worked in marketing. A good marketer knows things like: Your strengths Your weaknesses (a lot about your weaknesses) Your insecurities Your fears Where you shop Wher
Doesn’t it seem odd to you that politicians can’t work together? Aren’t they the “leaders”? I’m pretty sure I’d get fired from any other job I worked at if I said, “Bob’s idea is completely wrong. In
It is very easy to blame all the country’s problems on our government officials. And in fairness they never take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. And they never ask us to do anything. The
