It is hard to measure the past two years and nine months in office, but I am proud of the work, relationships, and impact I have made here in Cincy. I know my future will be in public service, that's my calling, and I look forward to now serving Americans all across the country.

Today, the City unveiled a commemorative plaque outside of City Hall, recognizing the Black Lives Matter mural. This historic public arts project was completed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and demonstrates the power of community. (1/2)

The vibrant colors & thematic elements of each letter reflect the expressions of joy, sorrow, and resistance that were felt during the creation of this mural & the movement that inspired it. It's placement outside of City Hall represents a call to action to all who enter. (2/2)

One of those superstars recognized was our very own, Gus Ricksecker. During our time in office Gus has proven himself to be a thoughtful, kind, and dedicated public servant. We are proud of his work and excited for the full Forbes 30 under 30 Summit coming later this fall. (3/3)
