“I’ve appreciated the bipartisan advocacy efforts of the Ohio Mayors Alliance and I look forward to continuing this work on the Board of Directors,” said Mayor Bob Stone. “Cities and local communities are an important part of Ohio’s success, which is why our communities must continue to work together and build stronger partnerships with state and federal leaders.”
