Tess Neff Is Working Hard To Earn Your Support On November 5th

Learn more about my endorsements and how I will help Lakewood and our community continue to thrive.

Since I started my campaign for Lakewood’s Ward One city council seat, it has been very interesting and a lot of fun to meet so many neighbors. I have learned about their history as Lakewood residents while listening to their concerns.

After winning the primary election in September, I have continued to walk the streets of Ward One, knocking on doors and talking with Lakewood citizens. I hear your ideas and concerns — and it is my hope to be able to take action on your behalf once elected to Lakewood City Council as your Ward One representative. The people’s confidence in me only fuels my passion to serve as your representative.

I love the diversity of our Lakewood neighborhoods, our unique homes, and the incredibly kind and receptive people I have met on my journey to pursue the Ward One council seat. It is always refreshing to hear that you care about Lakewood as much as I do. Overall, the Lakewoodites I have spoken with are happy, and like me, they want our city and community to continue to thrive.

In addition to voter support, I have earned the support of many groups. One endorsement I received is AFCME Ohio Council 8, which represents Lakewood’s public employees who deliver much relied upon and necessary services to our homes and community.

Another endorsement came from the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 25. Safety forces are imperative to keeping our community a safe place to live and work.
