We wrap up our series of Cleveland Heights City Council candidate interviews on the Park Synagogue campus with Councilman Craig Cobb. Interim Mayor Tony Cuda, who is the 6th council candidate, will have to wait until after Election Day sadly as he’s understandably buried with city business. Councilman Cobb and I get caught up on what’s been a busy few weeks in Cleveland Hts. Behind the scenes of the Park Synagogue development deal to the Heights High pool opening to residents to big changes in leadership at Cain Park and in the finance department to his current stance on funding immigrant legal defense with city dollars.

Dew Diligence - Episode 38 - Anthony Mattox
I admit I was a little nervous about how this one would go. But then Councilman Anthony Mattox started off this episode of Dew Diligence with nothing but kind words for interim Mayor Tony Cuda, I picked my jaw off the ground and we rolled on from there. We are the only two candidates in the race running solo. Will one or both of us break the slate? We will find out November 4th.

Dew Diligence - Episode 37 - Joe Dewitt-Foy
This week on Dew Diligence, get to know City Council Candidate Joe DeWitt-Foy. I have serious concerns that a stint on Cleveland Hts City Council might ruin Joe's relentless positive vibes, but he says he's ready. We dig into why he's running as well as recapping what was a big week in Cleveland Hts politics- Kahlil Seren is no longer mayor, Tony Cuda is our interim mayor and Law Director Bill Hanna was fired and re-hired in the span of 24hrs. Its been wild. And we are just a month away from election day.

Dew Dilgence - Episode 36 - Jessica Cohen
The "inevitable" Jessica Cohen for Cleveland Heights City Council sits down with the evitable me for one of my favorite conversations I've had on Dew Diligence. I think if Jessica lived in Minnesota or Illinois or some New England state, you'd be looking at someone just getting started, on her way to being elected state-wide. For now, she's stuck with us.After 12 years of service on various Cleveland Heights boards and commissions, her path to a seat on city council looks pretty clear. From the "Livable Neighborhoods" initiative, to vouchers, to her experience being dragged into the public spotlight through a pending lawsuit against the city, we cover a lot of ground.
In 2019 Cleveland Heights, a diverse inner-ring suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, voted to switch from a city manager/council government to one where the people elect a strong mayor. This podcast, hosted by Adam Dew and Eric Silverman, will follow the race to become the first mayor in Cleveland Heights’ history.
